And as one, all eyes turn.

First there's this as reported by Politico:

As Democrats wake up this morning reeling from an electoral spanking, the 2016 presidential race will unofficially begin — with the main focus on the woman who is all but certain to seek her party’s nomination a second time. 

 Then this courtesy of CNN:  

Hillary Clinton has spent the final moments of the midterm campaign season publicly deflecting the flurry of questions about her likely run for president. 

But behind the scenes, her campaign machine is quietly whirring to life. 

Clinton insiders have begun to approach Washington-based Democratic operatives who may play a role in a potential campaign and are soliciting their recommendations on other possible staffers, according to Democrats familiar with the conversations. 

A number Clinton associates are compiling staffing lists, according to multiple Democratic sources. Michael Whouley and Minyon Moore of the Democratic communications and consulting firm Dewey Square Group are one conduit to Clinton's inner circle and among the primary compilers of the campaign universe that will surround Clinton, should she run.

I said earlier, and I stand by it, that much of what the new Republican Senate, and their friends in Congress and the Right Wing media, will be focused on is undermining Clinton in the hopes of damaging her credibility before 2016.

Sure they will also try to destroy Obama's legacy as well, but the main focus will have to be the juggernaut facing off against them in the next election.

Towards that end I expect to hear a whole lot about Benghazi, and Russia, and the current conflicts in the Middle East. Because you know clearly those are all her fault.

We will also hear way more than we want to about Bill and his indiscretions, along with a whole slew of misogynistic comments and attacks from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the overgrown frat boys at Fox News. In short it might just make the rampant racism that bubbled to the surface after the election of President Obama pale by comparison.

Personally I think she should announce today, just to take the wind out of the Republican sails, and to get the country focused on the election where the Republicans will finally have their asses handed to them on a platter.

Just a thought.
