From Bush-McCain media operative Myra Adams, the best full-fledged early political case for Hillary Clinton that I've yet seen. Here's the lead:
By the standards of “political time,” where in one day a candidate can go from frontrunner to underdog, the 2016 presidential election is decades away. But from this vantage point, all signs point to Hillary Clinton coasting to the Democrat Party nomination and winning the White House.

Unless there is a radical change of circumstances within the Republican Party and its crop of presidential wannabes, or some unforeseen cataclysmic national event that dramatically alters the current economic and political landscape, or a serious deterioration in her health, Hillary has it locked up.
What's fascinating in this GOP view of the race is how early the frame of Clinton as both natural and chosen successor to Obama is out there in the opposition - Republicans believe the President wants Hillary to succeed him.
I think this is right, and I think it actually goes back to the transition in 2008, maybe even to the summer before the general for Obama - who does play the long game.
The whole thing's worth a read and not everyone will support Hillary, but if you're interested in protecting and extending Obamacare and the future of the Supreme Court - and many other progressive issues, including immigration, women's rights etc - it's not so bad to see the other side in total early panic sweat.
