Dem 2016 poll: Hillary Clinton still on top
Politico ^ | 5/15/13 | KEVIN CIRILLI

The renewed interest in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack at the U.S. post in Benghazi, Libya, has not shaken Hillary Clinton’s position among potential 2016 contenders, according to a new poll.

The former secretary of state — under fire by conservatives who say she played politics with the attack in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed — still leads the potential 2016 Democratic field with 63 percent of the vote in her party, according to a Public Policy Polling poll released Wednesday.

Vice President Joe Biden comes in at second with 13 percent. No other candidate polled higher than 4 percent. The poll was conducted between May 6 and May 9, 2013 — just as the hearings on the Hill were heating up.

“Benghazi isn’t having much impact on Hillary Clinton’s viability in a potential 2016 campaign,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in a statement. “She continues to lead the Democratic field and the top Republican candidate possibilities.”

Good!

The only ones who will support her are the freepers who oppose EVERY GOP nominee since this sites creation.

The story here is more that the true believers are circling their wagons around their queen bee than the results of the poll itself.

IOW, "The half of America that matters still doesn't give a rat's ass about Benghazi and never will."

Ronald Reagan would have been crucified here.

And from what I am reading (no specific links now) I was right — had so many “Conservatives” not decided they would stay home and eat worms Romney would have won. Romney was far from the best candidate but he was the FAR BETTER candidate compared to the obozo to whom we handed the election.

Obama is going to finish out his term very unpopular. Hillary is the only Dem with any chance to succeed him. Biden? Please.

So, the libs are gonna pull out all the stops to save her skin. I predict they are even willing to throw Obama under the bus if that's what it takes to save her viability. We may already be seeing some of that. The harder the press pushes the IRS the farther back they push the Benghazi story.

Allow me to correct you: It is the people here who oppose the viable candidates who actually might win a nomination and a national election in favor of the not-a-snowball’s-chance-in-hell types who pass every litmus test and then throw a temper tantrum when their guy loses. If conservatives had gotten behind Newt Gingrich early I still believe he would have exposed Barak Obama for who he is and won the election. Would he have been the perfect conservative? Of course not. But he would have taken the fight to Obama because he is not one bit concerned with wether people like him as a person or not.

2000 was a strange election year because voters were still getting over a distasteful Democrat incombant. From now on (unless the current scandal continues to metasticize), every time we nominate a “nice guy” candidate we will lose.

They expect to start with the ‘first woman president’ excrement. It’ll work for the feminazis and the remaining people with their heads still up their a$$es.
