it will be interesting to see what kind of policy angles she'll emphasize en route to election, she's got no particular causes or goals that are near and dear to her (afaict). given her history there's little to indicate that she'd go for soak-the-rich populism or addressing climate change, and healthcare's now pretty much off the table, so what does that leave for a legislative agenda? more MOR proto-rightwing shit, I imagine.

We've had dozens of mediocrities or just passably competent presidents and only a very few great ones. Presidents rarely leave office as popular as when they entered it. I don't see any reason why HRC would not fit comfortably into this long tradition. I'm willing to bet she'd outshine Gerald Ford, Warren Harding and Franklin Pierce.

remember the common 2008 theory that the dangerous flipside to the overwhelming youth support of Obama was that when, inevitably, he ended up disappointing people it might alienate young people from politics?
did anyone ever follow up on that with research on voter enthusiasm (with a focus on young voters with high enthusiasm for obama back then vs. their political involvement now, for example)?
all i have is anecdotal evidence because in the runup to the 2008 election i was in a public policy program with lots of politics nerds, and then immediately moved to DC. i don't really have a good feel for how the average young voter in 2008 feels now.
