First Read looks at the latest NBC News poll and finds Hillary Clinton has huge advantages over any Democrat willing to challenge her for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. She gets 70% among females, 70% among whites, 71% among seniors, 72% among the lowest-income Democrats, and 73% in the Northeast and 70% in the Midwest. Where she underperforms is among men (62%), college grads (62%), and 60% among upper-income Democrats - these are the remnants of Obamas white coalition in the 08 Democratic race. But a reality check here: Shes still getting SIXTY PERCENT among these folks, which suggests there isnt really a substantial opening for another Democratic candidate (whether its Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, or anyone else). Remember, in 2005, there was some real Clinton fatigue among Democrats that provided the opening for Obama. Thats not the evidence right now. Meanwhile, the New York Times reports a dozen or so other political operatives and 170 donors will gather in New York to plot how to help Mrs. Clinton win in 2016. The meeting is the first national finance council strategy meeting of Ready for Hillary, a super PAC devoted to building a network to support Mrs. Clintons potential presidential ambitions. nytimes/2013/11/12/us/politics/super-pac-gets-an-early-start-on-pushing-for-a-2016-clinton-campaign.html?ref=politics&_r=0
