If I were in Iowa, I'd be taking a trip elsewhere.

Regards, Ivan

Ping!

*sigh* I think Iowegians have more sense than to pick Hillary. But then again, since she is defeatable, it might be better to hope they don't.

[Brit1]

Sounds good to me.

[Joe Boucher]

Mrs. Clinton couldn't wait to get far away from the heartland folks of Arkansas looking down her nose at them.
The folks of Iowa are the same type of good downhome people.
I think they will see Mrs. Clinton for what she is, full of herself and just not one of them.

Miss Traczyk favoured Mr Obama, saying he had "that Kennedy factor".

So much for the wisdom of the common man/woman...

[beyond the sea]

There is a question over whether Mrs Clinton has the common touch.

Sure she does. She swears at and maligns her Secret Service and treats the military around her like servants. She's got the common touch alright. In fact she even says she has the "common" in her thoughts.

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." -Hillary Rodham Clinton, 6/28/04 ...

I think they will see Mrs. Clinton for what she is, full of herself and just not one of them.

No politician is "one of them." I've never voted for someone be cause he is "one of us," because none of them are, but because whoever they were they had the right take on the issues. But as you point out, HRC is so out there, so much a creature of the media and the left, she lost any pretention to being in contact with the concerns of the working class decades ago, if she ever had them beyond that liberal condescension for those "beneath" them.

Ivan, I hope that Hitlery actually tries to ruse the populist vote. She will simply self destruct. Hitlery is a stone cold aristocrat, and cannot take hanging out with the ordinary people of America without paternalistically lecturing them.

Hitlery will be revealed in all her witchy glory.

Go Hitlery Go! Mmmmmmmm! Butterd pancakes for your THIGHNESS!

LOL.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"To win the White House, Senator Hillary Clinton needs to sit down in the diners of the frozen flatlands of Iowa and, over coffee and buttered pancakes, persuade folks that she understands them. "

Isn't this the reason her camp wants to make all the primaries around the same time, to avoid an Iowa?

Fnny, haven't heard it mentioned in the MSM.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Of course, if they don't "understand her", she'll just give 'em the Billy Dale treatment.

[haywoodwebb]

Hillary + Pancakes = Wider Load!

She'll never fit back on the bus!

[Cyclops08]

"I don't think people understand her position with Bill's infidelities."

Even Democrats are beginning to wonder about this.
Bill cheats, Hillary does...NOTHING.
They don't live together, Bill STILL cheats...NOTHING is done.

Normal women with a shred of self respect would divorce such a jerk, but not Hillary. Buba raises too much money.

I think the issue boils down to this: Is Hillary Codependent?

[proudofthesouth]

The problem isn't a woman president (though there are only one or two that I would vote for). The problem is Hitlery herself!

This woman is absolutely despicable and evil!

[csvset]

"Hillary is more of a show horse. She puts her finger in the wind, sees which way it's blowing and that's the position she takes."

She's a nag, destined for the glue factory.

[Carolinamom]

Hillary prefers to do her "chatting" from a remote, undisclosed location, not sitting in an Iowa cafe w/a cup of coffee and real live person.

[jslade]

The folks of Iowa are the same type of good downhome people.

And yet, they elect swine like Dungheap Harkin!

[Lurker]

I think I'd pay double for those pancakes just to sit across the table from her and ask: "So Mrs. Clinton, can you tell me how to turn a 1000% profit in the cattle futures market?"

Or maybe I'd ask something like: "I've got some papers I need to keep out of the public eye for a couple of years. Would you mind if I stashed them in your bedroom?"

Or maybe I'd ask: "Why didn't you rip your old mans b**** off when you found out he was sticking cigars into that intern?"

Or maybe I'd ask: "Can I borrow your copy of 'Leaves of Grass'?"

Or maybe: "Do you plan to tell the truth at the Stan Lee trial?"

The possibilities boggle the mind.

I was just having a couple cookies and a small glass of milk before going back to bed.

I read your post and snort-sprayed a goodly swallow of milk right out my nose. :>

Who is Bill Clinton doing these days? Any word from the celebrity news?
