Iowans Stared Into The Abyss, Saw Hillary Staring Back

• January 4, 2008

With nearly
all Iowa precincts now reporting, Hillary comes in third behind Obama and
Edwards.

Electability is what matters above all to Iowa Democrats, even before ideological
purity. This is a replay of ’04, where the front runner (Dean) stumbled then
fell when the prospect of that guy running against the Republicans frightened
Iowans into picking someone, anyone, who could possibly beat George Bush.

Hillary, with her sky-high negatives, was the opponent of choice for Republicans
in ’08, and Iowa Dems who want to win know that.

Is Hillary toast? No, far from it. Nor should she be toast. What, are we gonna
let a high school stadium full of Iowa caucasians(?) decide this election?

Update: The Politico chimes in with this quote:

“Everyone underestimated this conflagration,” said a former Clinton administration official.
“If people think he’s electable, they’ll vote with their hearts and not their minds.”

Iowans actually did vote with their minds by going for Obama and not Hillary. To know Hillary is to reject her.

My momma always told me it was wrong to take pleasure in the pain of others–no matter how awful they might be; but momma died before Hillbilly showed up. Seeing the SS Inevitable keel over last night was so special I believe Momma would have made an exception and toasted Mrs. Clinton’s pain.

Of course, like Michael Myers, Hill’s apt to pop back up and whack Obama in NH or SC. But there will always be Iowa.

But it does not matter in the long run, because either of them or even Edwards for that matter can and will crush any one of the pathetic choices from the other side.

Whine much?

Socialist is a nut, just trying to perpetuate past social concepts and ideas. He went to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton school of political and social derangement.

Obama won in a 95 percent white state.(Iowa)

Obama has a more than decent chance of winning in SC.

Obama has a substantial base of support across the nation.

I would never vote for him in the general election, but I can understand why people who have bought into the concept of the government solving all your personal problems would do that. Obama’s platitudes speaks multitudes about his and the electorate’s ineptitude.

I hope he does well. I want to see more of him on the TV news. When he is profiled, at least he keeps me out of the shitter puking over HRC’s exposure.

How strange that Iowa Caucasians chose Obama.

Clueless ews: Ken was making a play on the word “caucus“. Race had nuttin’ to do with it!

Anyone who thinks that Obama’s 38% is a clear win over Clinton’s 30% and that it rules Clinton out is 1) stupid 2) naive 3) thinking wishfully or 4) all of the above. This caucus predicts nothing. When Edwards drops out, there will be 30% to be distributed between Clinton and Obama and Iowa does not in any way predict where those 30% will go. But it does not matter in the long run, because either of them or even Edwards for that matter can and will crush any one of the pathetic choices from the other side.

How many decades have the rednecks discriminated against Blacks in the South, even to this day?

Say WHAT???????

Just what do you base that on other than some pre-conceived, Hollywood/liberal fed notion of how it is down here in the South? Ever been here?

Let me tell you something, you can’t get much farther south from where I live without swimming in the Gulf of Mexico and this is one of the least racist places I’ve ever seen.

If there is blatant racism down here it is far more often from the other side of the coin that in the whitey-hating-blacks version you seem to think exists.

Your statement is downright butt-stupid.

Tell me, Socialist, where do you live?

Maybe the Dems in Iowa are remembering all the lovely Clinton memories from the past?

how many decades or centuries was it that the redneck conservatives in the South conducted a slave trade

Please tell us. What was the party of Lincoln, and which party did the south support then. Even more recently, what was the party of Bull Connor, Governor Faubus, and who was Eisenhower with? And about crime-by-color, what about the fact that blacks are statistically 50 times more likely to attack whites than vice versa? Does that make black folks infinitely more racist? Race and victim politics are a cottage industry in this country, and most of us are smart enough to see it for what it is, sorry you don’t. But, I suppose making conservatives the scary, scary boogeyman helps keep those colored folk on the democratic plantation, doesn’t it? Please. The patronizing bullshit of the left towards black people makes me sick.

WE could only wish there would be another democrat melting down in Iowa especially Hillary.

It’s got to be, hasn’t it?

This isn’t though.

This is an extremely rascist (sic) country, especially in the South.

Socialist,

Given your example above, can we also conclude that because there are Roman Catholics in the US that we are a Catholic country?

Similarly, if there are idiots in our midst who would use the power of government to punish those who are more successful than they are, does that make us a socialist country?

All you’ve managed to prove here is that those of you on the Left are some of the most bigoted, intellectually dysfunctional members of American society. And, Hell, we already knew that!

Iowa caucasians

Cute!

Well Jack I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss Edwards either. He was supposed to come in third, but beat Hillary. If he tops her convincingly, or wins, in South Carolina he is well back in the race.

These Americans have been living good hard working lives and surviving for a long time with a lot less in the face of whimsical regulation. They understand a lot more than you give them credit or.

Not really; America isn’t really a racist country, contrary to leftie talking points.

I am with anyone, conservative or liberal, who is against Hillary. I hate Hillary, and seeing her get her ass handed to her in Iowa is cause for cheer. It is also cause for cheer to see Romnoid the Plastic Phony Penishead getting his plastic ass handed to him by Huckabee.

Not really; America isn’t really a racist country, contrary to leftie talking points.

America is not rascist? Let’s see, how many decades or centuries was it that the redneck conservatives in the South conducted a slave trade? How many decades have the rednecks discriminated against Blacks in the South, even to this day? How many Blacks have been dragged to their death by some redneck’s pickup truck? This is an extremely rascist country, especially in the South.
