Today on Context Florida: Emily’s List emailed Martin Dyckman to ask whether he wants to help elect a “pro-choice Democratic woman president.” Yes, he replied, if it’s Elizabeth Warren. They never emailed back. Dyckman believes that if Hillary Clinton’s aura of inevitability isn’t punctured fairly soon, the Democrats can look forward to one of those Titanic moments – when everyone realizes the ship is sinking and nothing can save it.

Fresh Gallup poll — Hillary Clinton: Best known, and still best liked

in Top Headlines by

According to a new poll (taken just as the controversy about her private email account was breaking), Hillary Clinton remains one of the few 2016 presidential candidates to have a significantly higher favorable (50 percent) than unfavorable (39 percent) rating among the American public.

Preparing for campaign, Hillary Clinton seizes on bipartisanship

in Top Headlines by
