A great piece (5.00 / 8) (#18)
by Big Tent Democrat on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:16:41 AM EST
Clinton has become a great candidate.

While the Media will ALWAYS hate her and she has her baggage, as a candidate she is fantastic now.

It's amazed me how she's transformed herself (5.00 / 1) (#24)

If Clinton a year ago had been able to campaign like this, I suspect she would have been unbeatable.

sadly for her (none / 0) (#30)

she had Penn. She also had her surrogates make Populism a dirty word because Edwards cornered that political market.

I will always wonder why she went easy on Obama in Iowa.  she must have had the Wright tapes.

Against any other candidate (5.00 / 2) (#37)

she could have recovered from Iowa. Indeed, she would have done so with overwhelming support from African Americans on Super Tuesday.

Iowa, where I grew up, is a mystery (5.00 / 1) (#54)

to me.  I would not have predicted Obama had much of a chance in the caucuses, due to the extremely small percentage of minorities in IA, and how little that has changed since I lived there.

IL (5.00 / 1) (#58)
by Emma on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:38:05 AM EST
Illinois is right next door to IA.  IA  holds caucuses with same day registration.  Busloads of college students coming over the IL border to caucus.

Mystery solved.

The Kucinich effect (none / 0) (#64)
by madamab on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:39:20 AM EST
did something, I think. Remember that it was very close among all three candidates.

I lost all guilt for not supporting DK when he suggested his votes should go to Obama in Iowa.

I agree. Her loyalty to Penn failed her (none / 0) (#91)
by stefystef on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:49:01 AM EST
as has her loyalty to so many people who are abandoning her.  These fair-weather friends will not be rewarded for their betrayals, especially Richardson.  

I hope Hillary remembers all those who turned their back on her.  God don't like ugly.  And this General Election is going to get ugly, for sure.

Good thing the Clinton machine (none / 0) (#148)
by oculus on Fri May 09, 2008 at 01:34:24 PM EST
is kaput, per CW.  No payback.

correct (none / 0) (#40)
by Capt Howdy on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:29:01 AM EST
she will be back in 2012

You keep saying that. I think she (none / 0) (#65)
by oculus on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:39:37 AM EST
may concentrate on raising and disbursing Clinton Foundation funds.

Hillary was born to be the first female president.

Ha. You aren't on her payroll now, (none / 0) (#82)
by oculus on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:45:28 AM EST
are you?

I would love to be on her payroll. (none / 0) (#85)
by Capt Howdy on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:46:12 AM EST
maybe you could send her an email suggesting that

Agreed. (none / 0) (#121)
by Same As It Ever Was on Fri May 09, 2008 at 12:27:47 PM EST
Would that she had better people around her, she would have coasted to the nomination.  I must say that I would have enjoyed watching her gut McCain.

I don't think (none / 0) (#151)
by kenoshaMarge on Fri May 09, 2008 at 01:47:39 PM EST
having better people around her would have helped enough. Not with the media solidly hating her and fawning over Obama.
