Hillary Clinton's Dead.
No, no, no, no
She's outside
Looking in.
In Iowa, which is admittedly pretty small corn, she never polled above 30% - and her Caucus total was 29%. She can't get a third of active Iowa Democrats on her side. In New Hampshire tomorrow night, she'll lose again. And already, with Hsu heading for jail and legitimate donations drying up, she's running low on cash. She's in deep trouble. So how does she respond? Waterworks.
Interesting. At a time when she claims that the country needs strong, experienced leadership, she resorts to sending her mother in (ads in Iowa), and now playing the emotional woman card. Somehow, it just doesn't work. It didn't play in Ioway, and it's not going to work now. Too many people - even in her own party - recognize her for what she really is. 
And it doesn't seem that all that many folks are willing to go with that. Even Democrats, it seems, have at least a rudimentary sense of self-preservation. So, what do they have? Richardson's a joke, and that perspective seems generally accepted. Edwards appears to be staying in largely for the purpose of poking Mrs. Clinton in the butt; it's well-known that he has a deep and abiding antipathy for the Clintons. If he picks up votes along the way, all well and good. When he drops out (and he will), he can throw his support to somebody else. That leaves The Little Missus and Obama. And since nobody but aging liberal women can really stand Mrs. Clinton, it appears that the likely choice for Democrats in this election cycle will be Obama. That margin will only be enhanced when Edwards endorses Obama. You've got to hope that Bill's staying elsewhere when the ashtrays start flying. Tonya Harding, at least, generally confines that sort of activity to hub-caps.
