Is RW fatuation with Bengazhi about Obama....or prep work to frame Hillary'16?

One of the big strategy stories coming out of '12 is that Jim Messina & Co were brilliant in their work to frame Romney during the primary cycle.

When I heard SECupp on Real Time talk about how Bengazhi won't die because we have to know who "at State" know about this. When pressed about assuming Obama's role, she said something like "...we don't care about that but it's important to understand how the State Department failed these four patriots".

Time to get some mud splashed on Hillary before she leaves so there's something that can be called "Hillary's problem" during the '16. They really don't want to run against her.

only reason she did not win in 2008 was because of Obama voters
in 2016, all Obama core voters (like me) will stand with Hillary
game set match
Hillary defeats Jeb in the general

they should not even waste time with primaries

Hillary 425 electoral votes
Jeb 113
*unless Puerto rico is added which means Hillary will have some more)

Hillary. It is about the right wing and their willingness to commit treason to win the presidential election. You have to ask yourself what is the connection between the FBI's investigation of Paula Broadwell and outing of the location of the CIA safe house in Benghazi where the Ambassador and his team were allegedly staying. What is the connection between Adelson's $100 million pledge to mittnocchio campaign and the protestors for hire in the Middle East, the hate film, and of course Netanyahu's right wing spew.

There's no way Petraeus resigned from his post simply for having sex with Broadwell. That's pretty ridiculous. Let the rightwing nuts keep digging because all evidence will lead back to them.

Libya thing. I thought it the day it happened, and Mittens was criticizing the administration's supposed reaction to the protests before we even knew how many had died in the Benghazi attack.

1. Start smearing any and all possible Dem candidates for 2016
2. Triple down on voter suppression - ID laws, gerrymandering, e-voting, ballot counting
3. Create the same dog whistles and divisive fake and never-to-be-really-addressed issues for the demographics they now have to take seriously

Anyone who thinks the GOP will actually change their policies is not paying attention.

They wanted to impeach him for various idiotic reasons his first term. I imagine his second term will be no different. This is just how they act when a Democrat is in office.
