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)

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)

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)

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)

is kaput, per CW.  No payback.
