CAN HILLARY RECOVER FROM
IOWA?
1/05/2008
Of course she can. She's like a slice
of anchovy pizza that repeats on you when you least expect it. However it
will be more difficult than previously expected. It became obvious a few
weeks back that she would have a difficult time winning in Iowa. When her
campaign was instructed to forgo the talk of victory it became apparent
that there was definite concern within the Clinton War room.. The biggest
surprise may not be Obama's victory but John Edwards poor showing. At 26
percent it is now clear that Obama will mop up all the anti Hillary votes.
Going into New Hampshire that will be a major cause of concern for Clinton
and her staff. I find it interesting that they are now portraying the Iowa
caucus as no big deal yet she spent millions there and attempted to lower
expectations by putting a lid on predicting victory. Not only did she fail
to win Iowa she failed to hide the panic.
Now we have her being
pegged as the "Comeback kid". Comeback from what? She is now on record
saying Iowa was no big deal.
So where does she go from here?
Negative. And in the extreme. She will have to tear Obama down and in the
process she would look less and less human. Something that plagued her in
Iowa.
She has already been booed at a DNC rally in New Hampshire
that was distinctly in favor of Obama. She has her work cut for her now
that she is just another candidate vying for the nomination.
