She's created many more "ghosts" since 2008 to deal with. I suspect she yearns for the simplicity of the 2008 cycle compared to the demons she now faces.

Hillary has been collecting ghosts all her life. It's likely that ghosts of her more recent past may prove even more troubling: Say Benghazi...

Is it kind of like "Field of Dreams" where all the ghosts walk out of the corn to some ballot box built in the middle of a corn field? "If you lie to them, they will vote for you"

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I think that Hillary has a lot of ghosts she is battling. She seems out of touch with the reality of her situation. This is summed up by her own statement "Asked by a reporter to name her biggest campaign error so far, she smiled and said, “I’m just havin’ a good time.” She may be having a good time, but the voters look at her as being out of touch. Instead of addressing these issues in a meaningful way, she is playing them off. In the long run it goes to her electability, and her ability to present herself as someone who can perform the job of President of the United States. If she doesn't do something to prove that, she will find herself the outsider looking in... again. We the People have made a statement that we do not want politics as usual. This is evident on the Republican side of the coin. Donald Trump having a double digit lead in every poll (most especially worst combover) is an indicator that the people do not want another do nothing politician in the White House.
Personally I think that we need a person, such as Trump (definitely not Donald Trump) who is not a career politician in the White House. I think that Washington DC is like a freedom bubble that once a person enters, the people whose interests they are supposed to be representing are forgotten, replaced instead by political favors, back room deals, and lining their own pockets. I am a cynic when it comes to the ability of our government to perform its charged tasking. The problem has become so large that it is not until something horribly drastic (Donald Trump) happens that they may see the light.
Furthermore, one of my co workers put it in a perfect light. If Trump decides to make an independent run at the White House (should he not receive the Republican Nomination), Hillary will just stroll right into the White House, and we will be business as usual for the next four to eight years.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs there may well be political ghosts that Hillary Clinton is confronted by from 2008 but there are also many people who dies under suspicious circumstance that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well be "haunted" by on a regular or irregular basis.

As far as I'm concerned she should be haunted by the ghosts from White water, Watergate and forward. She is upholding the true standard of a quality politician - dishonesty.
