Hillary Clinton's Final Test (stand tall fellow DUers!)
On Friday, some believe, FBI Director James Comey changed the dynamic of this election. But before we assess the Comey effect, one must consider its political context. For until Comey’s bizarre intrusion, the last weeks of a mean and grueling campaign had yielded a surprising new candidate — a buoyant Hillary Clinton.
One sensed a woman who felt liberated — or, at least, relieved. Her last debate with Donald Trump was in the rearview mirror, leaving Trump as rhetorical roadkill who, like a cartoon character, ran himself over after she mowed him down. When she spoke of him, her contempt was leavened by a trace of amusement, as though he was just another chauvinistic blowhard in life’s parade of fools.
Her strengths in the home stretch — Comey notwithstanding — continue to reflect who she is. Her campaign organization is disciplined and deep, sustained by money she labored assiduously to raise. Her get out the vote operation is driving early voting. They, and she, are working hard in swing states to choke off Trump’s path, while expanding the map in places like Arizona and Georgia.
Her advertising is sharp and multifaceted — and running everywhere it matters. Her surrogates are more talented, ubiquitous and well-deployed than ever seen for any presidential candidate — Barack and Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and, of course, Bill Clinton. Her campaign is worthy of a president; Trump’s campaign is worthy of no one but Trump.

Stay the course, GOTV, and we will bring it all home for Hillary come next Tuesday.
