I can see them getting energized.

If I were a GOP consultant, I'd stay with Benghazi though the midterms, then drop it like a hot potato. It will help with fundraising and it will get people out to vote later this year.. but I think it will backfire for the general election in 2016. There aren't any independents or moderates that are turned on by this.

I think that will depend on what's uncovered. If there is a smoking gun (no pun), they'ld best hump that beast for all it's worth.

Not if Hilliary runs. State dept has already taken a lot of blame from the other congressional investigations. Their preparedness, or lack thereof is HUGE in those people dying...The cover-up theory is totally separate, but Hilliary has already got a lot of blame on her hands for the situation in the first place. No looking past that in 2016 if she runs, in fact Benghazi might be her only memorable feat as SOS...So what qualifies her for the Presidency....Benghazi..
