HRC staff ordered to lower expectations

DES MOINES — You can accuse the Hillary Clinton campaign of a lot of things, but overconfidence is not one of them. Not in Iowa. Not anymore.

Orders have come from the top of the campaign here that nobody is to predict that Hillary Clinton will win Iowa.

That may be part of the “expectations” game that all campaigns play.

Or it may be because the campaign no longer is really sure that Clinton will win.

Nope, he and Hitlery are going to divide up the delgates pretty evenly, maybe even more will go for Barry O by the time of the convention. With Edwards still hanging in there to be kingmaker (somebody's gonna have to offer him the Vice-Presidency again, always a bridesmaid, never a bride!) the Hildebeest will put out the FBI files and steal the nomination from Obama-Osama by grabbing the superdelegates, who are all elected Rat officials.

The really great part about this is that all the disgruntled black voters across America vote for Cynthia McKinney on the Green Party ticket, and Hill loses.

Unless the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate either Giuliani or Huckabee.

Shrillay campaign alert: Vuuuuooop Vuuuuooop. Red Alert! Red Alert!
Going down, going down!

That sound you hear is the the sound of inevitability being flushed.
If she finishes third, there is going to be, in the famous words of dearly departed Barbara Olsen, “Hell to pay.”

I just can’t wait. She really could land up third. Especially if the weather is bad. Old bittys are her number one voters.

So Hillary will now be the victim of the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. Oh, the humanity!

I believe Hillary’s campaign wants this story out there. I’m a cynic ... especially when it comes to Hillary.

Hillary has said she is going to win ... no doubts at all. So, is she wrong, or what?

“Fat-legged bitch.” Well said, well said. I’ve got no problems with what you said.

I can’t understand the American people and why they don’t demand more out of her and the main stream media as far as her statements that she wants to be transparent and then doesn’t deliver, i.e.,
a. the Clinton’s off shore hiding of their bank accounts (a lesson learned from Ted Kennedy).
b. her making available her White House transcripts and documents that she and Bill have locked up in the “Clinton Library”.
c. she refuses to release her list of campaign donors many of which reside outside of this country.

We have Doctors for people like you. But that will have to wait ‘til I clean up all the soda that spewed forth.

Get help, soon - very soon.

They really don’t call her HRC, do they?

If so, I can think of many things that will fit those letters.

Orders have come from the top of the campaign...

"Top of the campaign." Let's see, who might that be? Well, whoever it is, it's good their identity is shrouded in mystery. Because...
