There’s a midterm election looming, the lame duck president is a drag on
his party, which doesn’t want to be seen with him, and Hillary Clinton is
gearing up for a potential presidential run by helping some Democrats. It’s
2006 all over again.
This year’s midterm election is shaping up to look a lot like the 2006
version, but with the parties reversed. In 2014, it’s Democrats, not
Republicans, who are in trouble, which adds another complication to
Clinton’s delicate planning ahead of a likely second presidential run.
Clinton will headline a rally Thursday evening in downtown Philadelphia for
Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf, her first public fundraiser
of the year. The day before, she attended a closed-door fundraiser in
Chicago for Gov. Pat Quinn.
Why the difference? It might have to do with the fact that Wolf is
currently ahead by double digits, while Quinn is hanging on for his life.
Unfortunately for Democrats, there are a lot more Quinns this year than
Wolfs. So while there plenty of eligible winning candidates for Clinton to
back in 2006, it’s trickier now. She needs thread the needle of helping
Democrats while not contaminating her political standing with their losses.
And Clinton doesn’t have to look far to see the risk.
Earlier this year, before she really got back into politics, Clinton made
an exception for Marjorie Margolies, who was running in a Democratic
congressional primary in Pennsylvania. Not only is Margolies Chelsea
Clinton’s mother-in-law, but she cast a painful vote for Bill Clinton’s
1993 budget during her first stint in the House, which ultimately cost her
her seat and won her a debt from the Clintons.
Margolies lost her race this year, leading to a spate of negative media
coverage and Republican attacks about the apparent withering of the Clinton
brand. If she can’t win a congressional primary, the argument went, how can
she win a presidential one?
Margolies herself captured the predicament the Clintons face in an
interview with CNN back in May. “We always knew that if they came in too
much we would be blamed for their coming in too much. If they don’t come in
enough that people would would say they didn’t come in enough,” she said.
“You’re kind of damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”
When expectations are as high as they are for anything she does, Clinton
can’t afford to be seen backing a loser. At the same time, Clinton wants to
help her party and needs to be seen doing it, lest she get accused of
looking out only for herself.
Clinton’s solution, tucked away in the campaign scheduled revealed to
Politico last week, seems to be this: Mostly private fundraisers for a
limited number of key races where she can make a difference and –
importantly – where the Democratic candidate has a good shot at winning.
Clinton is intervening in most of the key Senate and gubernatorial races
this year, but not all.
She’s not, for instance, backing West Virginia’s Natalie Tennant, nor
Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, nor Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor, though her
husband has campaigned for all three. Nor is she supporting Alaska Sen.
Mark Begich, one of the party’s most endangered incumbents. All four are
currently underwater in the polls.
The candidates she is supporting, like Kentucky’s Alison Lundergan Grimes
or North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan, face very difficult battles, but are
generally in stronger positions.
Even so, she has avoided public events this far. Some advisers have
encouraged her to get out with voters more this year, both to combat
impressions that she’s remote, and to warm up for a presidential bid. She
enjoys these interactions, they insist, and gleans information from them
that she doesn’t find in polls or from consultants. During the “listening
tour” of her first Senate campaign, aides often scheduled an hour after
public events for Clinton to mingle with locals.
But there’s little glad-handing so far this campaign season. Closed-door
events may just be safer, as the privacy helps insulate Clinton from
potential losses.
And to be sure, Clinton is invaluable to her party at these kinds of
events. In 2006, Clinton raised millions for party committees, and her
personal leadership PAC doled out almost $2.5 million to other Democrats,
even though she had her own re-election campaign to worry about.
Clinton did work the rope line after her speech at the Iowa Steak Friday last
month, and was well received, but the event mostly honored retiring Sen.
Tom Harkin, rather than a specific candidate.
Clinton can stride confidently on stage Thursday in Philadelphia knowing
that Wolf is a shoo-in to oust unpopular Republican Gov. Tom Corbett (the
latest poll has him down 17 points) in the key presidential swing stage.
*CNN: “Hillary Clinton on Congress: 'Do they just not care?'”
<http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/09/politics/hillary-clinton-congress/>*

Hillary Clinton lit into members of Congress on Wednesday night in Chicago,
questioning their resolve to legislate as opposed to their desire to play
politics.
"The basic problem is we have lost leaders on both sides of the aisle,
particularly at this point in history, on the other side of the aisle, who
are more interested in governing than in posturing, more interested in
problem solving than in partisanship," Clinton told an audience of business
leaders at The Economic Club of Chicago on Wednesday night.
Clinton, the former senator from New York and Democrats' presidential
favorite, said this became clear for her during the 16-day partial
government shutdown in 2013, when President Barack Obama had to cancel his
trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali, Indonesia. At
the time Clinton was secretary of state.
"I don't care what party you are, Democrats never did that to George W.
Bush despite our deep differences with President Bush on taxes, on Iraq, on
so many other things," Clinton said. "We never did it."
Clinton's remarks were more stepped up than in the past, questioning not
only Congress' resolve, but their commitment to doing their jobs.
"You have to ask yourself, do these particular members of Congress really
understand the world? Understand what it means for the United States to
lead and to be perceived as a leader? Or do they just not care," Clinton
posited. "Do they just have a whole other agenda that enables them to say
whatever they want to say and spout whatever rhetoric they want to spout?"
Clinton has been outspoken in her longing for political leaders who could
negotiate and cut deals. Her stump speech regularly includes lines that
decry partisan politics.
"It is deeply distressing to me that we have people running for Congress,
both House and Senate, who proudly go around their districts and their
states proclaiming that you should send them to Washington because they
will never compromise," Clinton said, pulling a line from previous speeches.
Clinton urged the 900 well-heeled business leaders and philanthropists in
the room to make their disapproval known.
"That is why it is imperative that you have people in business and other
positions of responsibility basically say... 'Get out there and do your
job. Stay off the talk shows. Get back to the Congress. Legislate and solve
America's problems.'"
She added later, in an apparent appeal to independents, this call: "The
only way to solve this is for the American people, the American voters...
who constitute the great middle of the American political system, to just
call a halt to it."

Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to visit Michigan next week to campaign for
U.S. Senate candidate Gary Peters and gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer.
The former secretary of state, senator and first lady is scheduled appear
at a public event Oct. 16. The Michigan Democratic Party plans to announce
details in coming days.
Party Chairman Lon Johnson says Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential
candidate, is an advocate for the middle class. He credits Peters and
Schauer for helping to rescue the auto industry and supporting a higher
minimum wage.
First Lady Michelle Obama also will lend a hand to Peters and Schauer
Friday with
a campaign appearance in Detroit. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, another
possible presidential contender, will visit Michigan Monday to campaign for
Gov. Rick Snyder and other Republican candidates.

[Subtitle:] The bulk of likely voters age 18 to 34 are casting ballots for
Democrats this election, with issues like the economy and terrorism driving
them to the polls, according to a new survey
About 47% of likely millennial voters are going with Democrats in this
year’s midterm elections, compared to 32% who say they’re voting
Republican, according to a Fusion poll released Thursday.
Fusion has called its poll the largest survey on Millennials’ voting habits
from this election cycle after polling some 1,200 likely 18-to-34 year-old
voters. The poll’s authors are pretty adamant about the use of “likely,”
too, seeing as less than a quarter of millennials are expected to actually
turn out this November, according to a Harvard University poll.
Fusion’s poll also provides insight into the party leanings of millennial
demographic groups. Hispanic and black voters, it shows, are more likely to
vote for Democrats, as are women. White voters, meanwhile, are more likely
to support Republicans.
According to the data, the economy is a top issue driving young voters to
the polls this November—which is good news for the White House, which just
launched a emoji-laced social media campaign about the economy aimed at
millennials. Other issues that are getting young voters riled up include
terrorism and national security as well as education.
The millennials surveyed by Fusion also hint at who they would like to see
on the ballot in 2016—for Democrats, the favorite is Hillary Clinton, and
for Republicans the largest chunk of likely voters don’t know, but more
would vote for Congressman Paul Ryan than anyone else.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.83 percentage points. It
was conducted via phone interviews Sept. 12 through Sept. 22.

consultant Frank Luntz said today.
The Florida Republican would benefit from his age and "brilliant" debate
skills, Luntz said.
"Marco Rubio will do to Hillary what Barack Obama did to John McCain," he
said after being asked which Republican stood the best chance of debating
Clinton.
A contributor to Fox News and CBS, Luntz was the keynote speaker at the
Iowa Association of Business and Industry's Advanced Manufacturing
Conference in Ankeny.
Luntz also said Clinton, should she choose to run, would win the Democratic
nomination for president no matter who runs against her.
As for the GOP, Luntz said it is far too early to tell who would win the
nomination in the crowded field of prospective 2016 Republican candidates.
"I've never had any fear of making projections, (but) there's no way to
know," Luntz said. "When you put all the candidates against each other, Jeb
Bush is in first place at 15 percent. That's nothing."

answers the question we're all asking”

Hillary Clinton addressed lots of issues at last night's well-attended
Economic Club meeting including the one question everyone's dying to know
the answer to — does Bill Clinton change diapers?
The question was asked by venture capitalist J.B. Pritzker, Ms. Clinton's
friend and the co-chairman of her 2008 presidential campaign. They took
part in a Q&A during the event at the Fairmont Hotel at Millennium Park.
Ms. Clinton, whose daughter Chelsea gave birth to a daughter just a few
weeks ago, chuckled and then said, “No,” but her son-in-law, Marc
Mezvinsky, is changing diapers and that's “generational progress.”
The line drew laughs from the crowd of nearly a thousand. Seen in the
ballroom or noted on the program as attending were Duchossois Group Inc.
CEO Craig Duchossois, Commonwealth Edison CEO Anne Pramaggiore, PrivateBank
CEO Larry Richman, Grosvenor Capital Management LP consultant Eric Whitaker
1871 CEO Howard Tullman and Ingredion Corp. CEO Ilene Gordon, who recently
talked about becoming a grandmother, too.
There was no discussion about Ms. Clinton's plans to run -- or not -- for
president in 2016, though she did talk about some issues of the day and her
family, the Chicago Tribune noted.
The event capped off a day of public appearances in Chicago by the former
U.S. secretary of state. The Sun-Times detailed the day's events.
One interesting takeaway: This was one of the few Economic Club dinners
that didn't require guests to arrive in black tie and fancy dresses.
The less stuffy affair added to the fun of the evening, guests said.
