They just changed tracks and their plan is to bang Benghazi as much as they can, but that's not going to work either. Meantime the Democrats will continue on with their "steady as it goes".
I don't understand Hillary or her following. I also don't get how the Clinton's get the younger vote either (I mean, other than Bill getting blown in the Oval Office).

Bill was one of the first candidate to embrace what I call "Young Media." At the time it was MTV. Obama took it to a new level when he took things online and took out ads in online video games and things like that. Bill went on MTV, held town hall meetings with college kids that were televised and went on talks shows where he played the sax while wearing his shades. He seemed like a cool guy you would want to hang with and smoke a joint with younger people connected with that.
Now those younger people are in their 30's and 40's, but the Clintons still seem to have a connection to the young voters. Hillary had a lot of support from younger women when she ran in 2008.
