on the screen, the clashing polls. the only person who is close to hillary clinton is governor chris christie of new jersey but if you look at the other potential nominees for republicans, it is a smack down. rubio is at 40 percent, rand paul who, really, seems to be exciting a lot in the g.o.p. is at 41 percent. she still is 11 points above him and against job bush, don trmere it is ugly. what is going on, pat? a couple of things. everyone thinks she is strong. i am impressed by the fact that biden s numbers are not much worse and he has never been strong but what she is doing she has it tells me everything about the republicans and the real question about hillary clinton, which hillary clinton do we get?
