(53,963 posts)In tennis terms this whole email flap is what's called an 'unforced error'. The personal email server idea was ill advised. ANY Clinton has to know, especially one looking to run for office, that the level of scrutiny and opposition research coming from the repugs will be extremely high as they search for any little thing they can exploit to do damage.
And we may not be fortunate in knowing, like with Edwards in '08, what damaging little tidbit they've found before Hillary is nominated. They are certainly evil, and smart enough, to hold damaging stuff back until after she's nominated, and then we and the country will be doomed to another Bush or some other repug in the White House in 2016.
I just don't know whose idea it was for that personal server not a good idea even if others did it before. Those others, like Colin Powell, weren't looking to run for president and weren't a CLINTON.
