What about all of Hillary's new baggage? Will Republicans have a field day?
Yes. No need to go back to the 90s. Since January, Hillary has built quite a stockpile of weapons Republicans will use against her.
-breaking the MI and FL agreement, thinking rules don't apply to her. If her own party can't trust her, who can?
-she feels so entitled to the presidency, she tried to have the voice of the people overturned by party elites.
-she ran a dirty negative campaign against a member of her own party. And forged ahead and divided the whole Democratic electorate. If she puts herself before her own party, where will she put the American people?
-the lie about "sniper fire" in Bosnia. If she can't be honest with herself, she can't be honest with America. Not the best case against an American war hero.
-a multi-millionaire blaming other people of being elitist.
-While she was giving a speech opposing Colombia free trade, her chief campaign strategist was in Colombia lobbying in favor of it. Her husband got $800,000 for supporting it.
-she takes more lobby and special interest money than any other presidential candidate in the race.
-She endorsed John McCain as Commander in Chief.
-she tried to steal delegates who were pledged to Obama

Thanks for your comment. I do not mean to use HRC's tactics, but why has no one addressed Chelsea's "elitism": Stanford, Oxford, (both paid for by Mom and Dad of course) McKinsey, and now Avenue Securities Hedge Fund (which invests in "distressed securities"), front row seats at Versace fashion shows, photo ops with Mom riding camels and elephants. Even the Bush twins have a better community service record than Chelsea.
And, what about Bill Clinton's dubious dealings with Colombia and Kazakastan and their mysterious donations of $15 million and $35 million respectively to his library. And his participation at the Davos Economic Summits can be called nothing else than elitist. I was wondering if someone more articulate than me could pursue this.

All of what you write is so true.
Plus, in a Washington Post story (Morals of a Muckraker by Howard Kurtz) about Dan E. Moldea, the private detective for Larry Flint, who outed Bob Livingston and Henry Hyde during the Clinton impeachment, Moldea was quoted as saying:
"I have it on very, very good authority that major opposition research has already been conducted on Bill Clinton, and it's going to be a massive smear campaign against him," he says. A group of former intelligence officers, he says, is "going to try to cripple Hillary through Bill."

Every time Hillary said Obama hadn't been vetted, I wondered if Bill has been vetted. Wouldn't more Bill scandal do wonders for a Democratic victory?!!

Well, call me a purist, but Hillary Clinton has enough baggage on her own. I'm not big on guilt by association, even if it is Bill Clinton.
