POOR HILLARY; HAVE SYMPATHY, HAVE COMPASSION – AT 9:58 A.M. ET:   Finally, after months of scandal, Hillary Clinton is starting to slip in the polls.  If this continues, her nomination may well be in jeopardy, even though the Dems don't have a replacement who is known to more than 10 people.  From The Hill: 

Hillary Clinton’s email problems are taking a bite out of her approval ratings, raising the GOP’s confidence that she can be defeated in 2016.

A new poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University found Clinton trailing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in the Sunshine State and enjoying only a 2 percentage point lead over Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

In February, she led both — with a 10-point lead on Rubio.

The same poll found Clinton ahead of the GOP field in the must-win state of Pennsylvania but with only a 1-point lead over Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). And her favorability rating in both states has plummeted, by 4 points in Florida and 6 points in the Keystone State.

Quinnipiac pollster Peter A. Brown attributed the figures to news stories about Clinton’s decision not to use a government email address while she served as secretary of State, saying it was “taking a toll” on her public image.

Republicans have seized on the controversy to tarnish the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. On Tuesday, the GOP chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi asked Clinton for an interview before May 1 to discuss her use of a private email account at the State Department and reports that she wiped her private server clean.

COMMENT:  The fact is that the Clinton scandals will go on and on because some of the investigations are only in the early stages.  There could conceivably be legal action against Clinton.  There could even be indictments, or threatened indictments.

Of course, at one point the mainstream media will realize that their candidate could be defeated in 2016, and will generate an alternative "narrative" that will put her in a better light.  Or, it will trot out the old "sexism" charge if anyone dares question her.  It would be a repeat of the media's work on behalf of Barack Obama in 2008.  But it may not work this time.  Clinton is old news.  Obama was not.
