#1 Proving once again, it's never to late for PMS.

#2 Everyone in Iowa had a long look at Hillary, and just said, "No".

#3 Rodger has a great mouseover Hillary spot: "you stupid pig-raising bastards!"

#4 If Hillary can't pull out a win in NH, she is pretty much done. And she knows it. Iowa and NH are decently liberal states and if she can't win in those areas the rest of the US will not take her seriously as a candidate that can win.

However, even if she does lose, I can see her bitching and screaming through every state until the dhimocratic convention where she will be dragged of the floor screaming, "It is my turn! It is mine!"

#5 Don't forget, about a third of the Dem delegates are unelected "superdelegates"--senators, congresscritters, governors, ward heelers, and so on. Hillary! could get a large majority of that group just because she's better at inside baseball than anyone else, and that could be enough to get her the nomination, or at least deny it to someone else.

#7 Yeah, it isn't like the Donks have been bitching for the last seven years about the supremacy of the 'popular' vote. The Empress can't sell herself. Bottom line. It's going to be trouble with a capital T.

#8 I think Urgency allows crossover voting.

#9 Heard she started getting booed in NH this AM, realized it, and switched topics and tactics.

It happened when she started going negative on Obmama.

#11 ...DV and Mike both have good points, and if she loses in NH - and let me be clear, there's gonna have to be a massive, no-question-or-spin victory there - what will probably end up happening is that the Clintons will show up at the convention as kingmakers. They wouldn't have the delegates to get her nominated, but they'll have enough influence over those 'superdelegates' to strongly affect who does.

#12 Chris Wallace -- I think last night -- was showing video of Hill's "victory" speech in Iowa. He was smiling and finally laughing when describing the scene on the stage. Maddy Albright, Hill then Bill and Chelsea. Was laughing that it looked just like a "living wax museum!" And it did!

The image truly was -- this is what we are electing. A retro throw-back.

Hopefully, this election is the last one that we children of the 60's will have much sayso as "leaders." And there's a better bunch than us coming up!

#13 Watching her in the debate. The fool said that when we launch missiles at Osama we absolutely have to inform Pakiwakiland!

DipShit!
