Hillary Clinton's first two months as a presidential candidate haven't been exactly a smooth ride.
Just consider these story lines since she officially announced her candidacy:
- The heavily scrutinized Clinton Foundation stories;
- The controversy over her State Department emails;
- Three announced Democratic rivals (Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee) now challenging her in the race;
- Polls showing a decline in perceptions about her honesty;
- And even a straw poll result with her barely beating Sanders in Wisconsin.
But here is the good news for Clinton as she
holds her first big campaign-style rally Saturday on New York's
Roosevelt Island: She still has maybe the clearest path of any
non-incumbent in modern times to winning a party's presidential

presidential primaries since 1980," said John Sides, a political
scientist at George Washington University.
