As Hillary Clinton prepares to launch her presidential campaign within the next month, a new poll finds her vulnerable in three critical swing states.

Voters in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania question the former secretary of state

^It's pretty ridiculous how the MSM thinks they have to be the primary challenger to Hillary Clinton.

That Pa poll had screwy party breakdown - equally divided up to be 31% Dem, 31% GOP and 31% Indie.

^Is Hillary back to being referred to as Hillary Rodham Clinton? Because I remember when she first ran for the Senate wasn't there a big deal when she dropped the maiden name part?

I think Rand isn't that aggressive. I can't see him calling out specific candidates. He would make clear the differences he has from the entire field however. Cruz and Christie to me would be the people that would cause problems, especially Cruz.

The debates is where Rand excels. Did you see him during the Kentucky primary and general election? He tore those fools up and left their entrails for the dogs. Rand smashed the establishment's golden boy by 30 points in the primary. Then went on to rout the democrat by 12 points in the general.

I'm talking about Rand's chance at winning Pennsylvania. That state gets more blue each election cycle. Him against Hillary would be a hard loss.

Dems chose Pennsylvania as their National Convention spot because it's always the first non-traditional swing state target of the GOP when trying to expand their map (Kerry only won it by 2 points, Obama won it by 12 but then only by 5) and both McCain and Romney made late hail mary type plays for it so there must be something "there" that both Dems and GOP are seeing. Penn is a combination of blue collar cities and rural "Pennsyl-tucky" T area - it should profile better for GOP and probably not a natural base state for Hillary. If somebody like Christie was GOP nominee I think he'd play VERY well in Pa.

Hillary Clinton's secret Iran man

I think HQ'ing in NYC was a big mistake. In the belly of the newsmedia beast she should have went some where with certain distance so outlets need to send embedded reporters to get their stories, and there is less chances for leaks and the like.

Obama was in Chicago and it was said to be a very smart decision as he could better control the media narrative around him, and Romney based himself out of Boston. Hillary didn't leave DC for her 2008 campaign HQ.
