Yesterday's revelation that Hillary Clinton used her personal email while Secretary of State seems like no big deal to me. John Kerry is the first Secretary of State to actually use the government email. Condeleeza Rice didn't use email and Colin Powell used his personal email. This all has the smell of government silliness.
But it should matter to Hillary Clinton because, once again, she's seen as hiding something. Handing over 55,000 emails is nice but now we will have every fat ass blogger with man titties howling about secrecy and Benghazi again because she didn't hand over all of them. I see a lot of tone deafness within her almost launched campaign and she needs to tighten up that shit most ricky tick.
The air of inevitability thing is what did her in during the 2008 campaign. That's why I think it would behoove the Democrats to put up some serious challengers to her so she can stay on her game. If she somehow manages to end up tanking, at least they will have some other players in the mix. Right now their other star (Elizabeth Warren) has repeatedly said she is not running. Let's see some new faces like Joaquín or Julian Castro. What about Maggie Hassan? Or my own Amy Klobuchar?
Hillary needs to get kicked in the ass a bit if she's going to earn it.

Rob, under the new rules of this site, you must leave personal remarks out of comments. No problem if you want to pile on Hilary or other Democrats but leave me and Nikto out of it.
Hillary is an idiot. This has all the scent of impropriety.
Of course there are always Democrats out there who complained about Republicans and their private e-mail who are pooh-poohing this as a scandal for Hillary. It would be nice if they were at least consistent.
In the work that I do, using a non-govt account for govt work is a fireable offense.
I guess the rules are just for us little people.
Oops - who knew ABC is part of the VRWC?!
