HRC will not go gently into that good night.

The only thing worse for Hillary than losing to a Republican in the general election would be losing to a Democrat in the primary who later wins the general election.

The Final Polling In Iowa: Clinton Fades

Clinton: Fade to Black

[puroresu]

I never thought I’d cheer for Osamabama or Silky Pony, but I’m cheering for them today.

[AD from SpringBay]

I really want Edwards to come in second and Obama for first. We have seen in the past how eloquent Hillary becomes when she is under pressure and when things aren’t going her way. With a loss in Iowa she would really have to stick to script and I don’t think she can do it. She’ll be so tight she’ll squeak when she walks and between her and her husband... one of them is bound to end of her candidacy. This is barring any arkancide on the parts of the other candidates - of course.

[OSHA]

Maybe not. Looks like she’ll get very few votes from those who get a do-over.

Just like Kerry, that story is seared......SEARED.. into her memory.

[shiva]

Thompson will finish third or better.

....and that's when it's gonna hit the fan for the media!

Go Fred GO

[DaBearOne]

Gosh Almighty jdm, I was really looking forward to paying for all the programs “her thighness “ wanted to buy votes with. With my fixed income, what am I going to do with the $1.94 per mo that I have left each month. Drat it all anyway. (I’m spitting happy now) I hate feeling happy.

Will it be PC to blame this on Bush too? Or should this be Carl Row’s fault?????

Will Hillary still be able to take things from the WH? Who will Bill play cigars with? So many questions!!!!

[untrained skeptic]

I think you're right, but he needs to get more than the 11% of the vote he is polling at right now.

Third place isn't bad, but a relatively distant third that is close to 4th and 5th places is bad.

I hope he can pull off closer to 20% than to 10%.

[Osage Orange]

Hopefully, she’ll just fade out of sight.

Wishful thinking.....

[Theodore R.]

Can’t she remain in the race long after early defeats and still prevail — she is “inevitable”, we were told by the big media? She even called her election inevitable.

[The Great RJ]

If Hillary finishes third in Iowa, I will be celebrating, but it will take either blessed silver bullets or wooden stake through the heart to stop her presidential ambitions. I pity Obama if he wins big in Iowa as Hillary’s operatives will pull out all the stops and conduct the worst smear campaign in history.

[Rummyfan]

It's only Iowa after all, but a third place finish by Hillary Clinton certainly removes some of the inevitability from her campaign. Now if she comes out with a Dean-Scream performance to buck up her possessed minions.....

RUSH: If Mrs. Clinton Comes in Third, They'll Say Iowa Is Meaningless

[jalisco555]

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

Be careful what you wish for. I think Obama will be the hardest of the Big Three Dems to beat in November.

[Dahoser]

Until proven otherwise, a third place finish in Iowa for Her Heinous sets up the Klintoon comeback kid scenario for placing higher in New Hampshire where she’s running either first or second depending on the poll.

[NewCenturions]

Obama has the Oprah crowd and the left-left lefties, but I can’t imagine the bulk of the dems going for him...

[Just mythoughts]

The polling data appears to be a nice set up for a Miracle in the sale barns and pig farms across the frozen miles of corn fields. Hillary will convoy in the buses for the first of many coronations.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

The final polling before the Iowa caucuses has come from a joint Reuters/Zogby/C-SPAN survey, and the news for Hillary looks bad. She now comes in third behind the inexperienced duo of Barack Obama and John Edwards.

EXCUSE ME? I can't stand the Breck Girl, but INEXPERIENCED? If anything, he's the ONLY one of the three (Breckster, Obama, Clinton) with experience running in a presidential election. He's DONE this before, her Thighness has not. This just shows the absolute favoritism of the MSM for Hillary.

If the MSM has anything to say about, Hillary WILL be elected...
