The Final Polling In Iowa: Clinton Fades

Captain's Quarters ^ | Jan. 03, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

[AD from SpringBay]

... Clinton fell four points to third place -- a finish that, if it held, would deal a dramatic setback to the one-time Democratic front-runner.

That would be so sweet. I'm making Homer-Simpson-drooling-at-food-noises just thinking about it.

Hopefully, she’ll just fade out of sight.

[jdm]

Thompson will finish third or better.

[BenLurkin]

This week, she attempted to sell a story about flying into a sniper zone, but forgot to mention that she brought Sheryl Crow, Sinbad, and her own 15-year-old daughter along for the trip, making her recollection look like a serious prevarication.

Doesn't matter. The coastal Rats love how the Clintoons lie.

They really believe that the ability to lie is a a qualification for left-leaning politicians.

Between “seeding” debates with questioners that worked for her campaign and that disastrous picture of her looking woefully old, is it small wonder why Senator Clinton’s campaign is running into lot of trouble?

[xtinct]

Keeping my fingers crossed that the good people in Iowa make Novak’s prediction come true: Hildabeast a distant 3rd.

[Perdogg]

She will win Iowa.

[farlander]

Now if Huckster could just fade back under whatever Arkansas rock he crawled out from. We don’t need an idiot preacher-in-chief.

[ConservativeMind]

I am looking forward to seeing the Clintons self-destruct as the primaries continue.

They are worthless examples. It will be nice when they are finally shown the door by their own party. They won’t be able to fool themselves about their worth thereafter.

[NewCenturions]

Oh, how I’d LOVE to see the final election between Fred and “Don’t-mention-my-big-ears” Obama!

“They really believe that the ability to lie is a a qualification for left-leaning politicians.”

In this country, They are correct.

[jdm]

OK, I’ll remember that. :)

[AD from SpringBay]

I would love to see the Clintons to fade away. Unfortunately, she will still be the Senator from New York.

[ASA Vet]

Huma will be deeply saddened.

[kromike]

1) I hope Hill-Bill come in 3rd/4th.
2) I hope that they take it personally.
3) I hope that their rage gets the best of them in subsequent puff-interviews.
4) I hope that Hill-Bill is not the nominee.

And best of all...

5) I hope they engage in thermonuclear scorched-earth policy on the the lame candidate who does end up being the dhimmocratic nominee.

[Robert A Cook PE]

TV “news” just keeps claiming that “It’s too close to call” - which means that she is NOT winning big, and may not be winning at all.

Otherwise, they’d be PARADING LOUDLY how far ahead she is.

What next...a page out of the John 'I was in Vietnam' Kerry's handbook?

I think these predictions are spot on, although I give Romney a chance of pulling out IA. I think in the final analysis, Hillary’s early support of the war hurt her with the base. there is a large anti-war contingent in Iowa. Her flip-flop on driver’s licenses in NY also hurt.

As Rush predicted, the MSM is already discounting Iowa.
