Awaiting her coronation, Hillary Rodham Clinton instead faced a seething revolt within her own party. More than 70% of Iowa Democrats rejected her....after 15 years of domination, the Clinton dynasty has finally lost its grip on the Party. What's devastating to her is that she lost so badly to a political novice. The problem with caressing the jewels of the crown before the coronation is that it's embarrassing when it turns out that the coronation goes to someone else. Clinton's invincibility has turned into inadequacy.

All in all, I was really looking forward to a Howard Dean moment. Maybe after New Hampshire...
I double dare you, I think Hilary will go for a sympathy vote, she will have a “close call” of some sort of nature in the next 72 hours, mark my word.
Cute-—lol.
I think it was made clear-—even by the pundits——that Hillary’s poor showing, getting beat by Obama and Edwards, of all people, was an ANTI-HILLARY declaration by Iowa Democrats.
Hillary must have known this is seething in the towns and villages of our Nation.
Not being able to overcome anti-Hillaries in Iowa could portend a look at things to come.
When I was putting Halloween decorations back in the attic in November I found a newspaper I saved from long ago that I forgot all about.
Tacoma News Tribune
December 20, 1998
Headline: CLINTON IMPEACHED
I can’t wait to add to this news paper collection, one that says “Clinton Drops out of Race”.
The Anti-Hillary vote came out in droves---in one district four times the 2004 caucusers showed up to vote.
Iowa is known for picking the ‘religious’ sounding republican candidate, and those voters only want sweet nice sounding words. Not exactly representative of this nation as a whole. That ‘hard rock’ state is next and it appears that the comeback of a Phoenix rising from the ashes will overshadow Iowa in less than a week.
My feelings precisely.
I'm willing to bet that Hildebeast is telling her aides that Iowans are a bunch of hicks and when they get to the states with sophisticates who can appreciate her form of Stalinist government, everything will be fine.
Hillary has had a set back but that is all.
Her political machine will take out Edwards first and Obama second. She will go on to win the Democrat nomination rather handily. Whether she wins in November depends on who the Republicans nominate. She loses to everyone but the Huckster who she decisively defeats and carrry 45 states.
Lanny Davis was on F&Fs - said hellary had wanted out of Iraq for over 20 years. ummmmm - we have not been there that long.
Bill: You need to use that cash wisely
Hillary: You mean TV Commercials?
Bill; I mean bribing precinct captains.
I’ve recently had a job change to a place where I work with more folks who are significantly younger than me. The Obama vote counts have me wondering if that’s a big factor here.
Policies aside, who do the Republicans have that appears as young and vibrant as Obama?
Answer: No one.
Something to think about.
She’ll crack Obama first and then destroy Edwards at her leisure.
I can’t wait until the day we hear no more about the Clintons. While I still think Hillary is the easiest candidate for the Republicans to beat in the general election, I’m torn by the joy of maybe not having to see Hillary and Bill in the news too much longer.
My first thought like that was - Bill better watch his back. A widow would get a lot of sympathy.
