I think the Republican party is stacked. I've never seen the depth chart look the way that it does now. I think they have a ton of solid choices unlike the last 2012 round where most of them sat out. All in all, they aren't looking for Democrats to vote for them (cept maybe Rand Paul)...they are hoping for a larger Republican turn out.
That being said, you precisely proved my point in the bolded; Hillary's slip up is that she is no Barack Obama...and she sure isn't her husband. Even you yourself said you may not show up to vote...and that's what a lot of Republicans re banking on. A lot of them do not think that Hillary can pull off a 2008-esque Barack Obama momentous turn out for their party.
If I feel like there's a threat she'll lose to a crazy Republican, I'll show up to vote. I'm sure others feel the same way.
Same thing happened last cycle. It went from "Romney has no chance in hell of winning this. " to the media pushing a story of "Is Obama in danger of losing his reelection? " I got my ass out and voted as a result.
