where's Hillary's coattails?

DWS has lost us numerous seats I. The House and Senate, and I don't see Democratic young blood lining up to try and take those seats with a looming Hillary nomination.

Obama brought several new people to the Senate and House. His coattails were long and encompassing of many factions within the DNC.

How is Hillary going to get a Democratic House and Senate back with no one line g up behind her to challenge Republicans and DWS losing historical numbers in both chambers?

In the face of GOP obstructionism, winning the Presidency is meaningless without Congressional control.

Almost everyone I know voted against her endorsers in the primaries. They will vote against them in the general - because of one and/or two points:

1) they're riding the gravy train and don't care about serving the public.

2) they're too stupid to be in public office.
