Do you want to know which scandal has legs? Do yourself a favor. Take the next few days and conduct your own poll among family, friends and acquaintances:

1) What is the Benghazi scandal?
2) What is the IRS scandal?

Compare notes and proceed accordingly.

In my personal experience, IRS wins in a landslide. And that’s *before* the revelation of “What’s the content of your prayers?”

Wow, if this is a planned distraction, it’s the equivalent of dynamiting your house to put out a kitchen fire.

On the surface, I agree with you. BUT,COULD the Benghazi issue be much, much more than we currently realize. That the legacy media is too willing to cover the IRS issue just “don’t sit right.” For the want of a better term, “wag the dog” just seems like a viable scenario.

While what you say about the immediate impact of the IRS scandal is true, you missed the following more significant questions:

1) Which scandal does the regime know Obama’s fingerprints are on and do they feel less able to defend him on?

They planned the IRS targeting in advance and would have been better about to construct firewalls to protect Obama.

The Benghazi travesty was not planned in advance. Even the Benghazi cover-up was ad libbed. If Benghazi is pursued to the end Obama falls on malfeasance or dereliction.

2) Which scandal is a greater threat to Democrat presidential chances in 2016?

Obama can't run in 2016 while Hillary is by far their top contender. She can't be touched on the IRS, but her (and Obama’s) fingerprints are undeniably all over Benghazi.

IRS wins in a landslide and is the scandal GIVEN to the Press and to Congress by the administration, What are the probable ramifications of that.
