It does appear that this month's winners are Biden (by far), Paul, and O'Malley.  

And Hillary, considering emailgate was supposed to badly damage her chances.

Not really. Very few people outside of Fox, their viewers, and Hillary hacks have said that.

Are you kidding? Did you completely ignore the news the first 3 weeks of March?

And this isn't even getting into the blog comments and Atlas Forum comments...

And that's just a small sampling. Google News it (Hillary Clinton + emails + last month timeframe) if you really want more.

Wow, Halperin should really stick to just writing his "Game Change" books

The email thing's clearly a ticking time bomb. After the campaign gets underway I imagine it will actually be far more damaging than Benghazi was.

So it will be more damaging than something that's completely irrelevant? Well, that's not a particularly high bar to cross. Anyone who cares about Benghazi was never voting for Hillary to begin with.

I don't really agree with that - I think Benghazi will be pretty damaging to Hillary during an actual campaign (and I don't even think she did anything wrong per se as regards that event), particularly given that she already has problems among both Democrats and voters in general with being seen as cold, calculating, callous etc.

The email scandal is more damaging though since there's no question of whether she was culpable. She was, and it looks a lot like the old tawdry Clinton scandals we remember so fondly.

Well hot dog! Down 1% for No, up 9% for Yes. There is nowhere to go but up from here for O'Malley! I'm kidding obviously, but this is very good for him. I think once he officially announces, his numbers will spike. Same goes for Webb, Sanders.

Cruz sure got a good boost from his rollout. Will be interesting to see if this translates into IA polling bump too.

No one is going to be talking about the email thing a month from now. It has no legs to stand on, especially when it raises all sorts of uncomfortable questions about certain GOP candidates' emails, say, I don't know, Jeb Bush.

While it will likely die as a serious issue (unless something truly damning comes to light), the right-wingnuts will be talking about Hillary's email until the election (and for the next 4-8 years if she becomes president).

So it will join Lewinsky, Whitewater, Vince Foster, etc. Fitting.

Right, they'll go back to *fresh* scandals like Benghazi.
