so far the hillary email thing isn't a serious crimp in the campaign. but that or a dozen other things could rise to the level of damage at any time. now i don't know whether elizabeth warren wants to be president. there would be a sudden surge of actual energy, as opposed to mere capitulation, among libs were she to make it evident that she does. and if she does, i think she should take into consideration that there's a 50/50 chance or so that hillary's campaign falls apart before the nomination. if that starts occurring to people, it will also occur to people that they better have some alternative to turn to in april 2016, or be in a terrible problem.
i do think that if hillary is nominated, she is likely to lose to, say, walker or rubio; i like warren's chances better there. on the other hand, perhaps hillary, if she rides out all possible scandals, does ok against jeb, from whom she cannot be distinguished except by gender. she really is an empty soul, though: there just isn't anything there.
here's a bad sign: james carville is hysterically defensive on the email thing, throwing out random partisan red herrings, etc. the paranoia phase has already kicked in fully. try to remember what this was like and then really try to want it again.
