Hello, Abdul-- and welcome to English Forums. 'who see her as a liability come the presidential election itself in 2012' = who consider her to be a liability ( = a negative influence) when the actual presidential election comes in 2012 . 'Come + date/event/etc' is an idiomatic structure that exist in even more fixed form in he phrases 'come what may', 'come to pass'.
