Peace out, Iowa.

... from those little people.

out the door.

I'm guessing her flight will arrive there in New Hampshire and upon deboarding she'll call a press conference and declare victory there as well.

She is a sore loser.

Compare that to O'Malley who is still at his concession party shaking hands and hanging out with his staffers and supporters. He's a class act.

Then all of the sudden, while Cruz was speaking, she went on stage unannounced.

She sent him out barnstorming across Iowa trying to drum up support for Hillary.
He failed too.

Cleopatra.

that there is a huge blizzard coming and it's probably a good idea to high tail it out of there (Andrea included).

"Mrs. Greenspan"?



(for the record I ask those that use that to call Andrea Mitchell by her chosen name)

.

I wasn't trying to be mean. Just didn't feel like typing out Sanders supporters.

telling the truth about the name of the very famous and destructive husband of a public figure like Andrea Mitchell is.

Bernie bros is a fiction designed to convey that Bernie does not appeal to women, or that he's sexist or whatever. Bernie's supporters are not public figures, did not help destroy the economy and are not slanting the news. Mitchell is a public figure, really is married to Greenspan and has been spinning the truth for years.

I think she thought she was going to win by a fair amount and it looked like it when she was on camera.

My mom was leaning Hillary and against Bernie because she was scared of a "socialist." She said she didn't like Hillary's speech and she thought Bernie gave a great speech. My moms largely apolitical and has some conservative and liberal ideas... so she also said she liked what Rubio said as well.

Her one caveat was she got a little scared when Bernie said "political revolution" but she liked the ideas he talked about.

Then I offer 'em a DU bumper sticker! One car - years of star donations, so I have a surplus. Soon as the bills aren't quite so far ahead of me, I'm getting my star back!

If I get ahead enough, I'll spot both of us.

the French Underground

but she died doing the twist (Chubby Checker) so missed out on the Rock 'n Roll evolution.

But I remember as a little kid being so awed that she could move like that!

She also loved a good fight so, yeah, I think she woulda been right at home at Democratic Underground!

By evolution I was speaking of the later years. In 1955 I wasn't but 1 year old!

Turntables probably date me, though.

That's why most folks had a fully stocked bar in the house for company.

ecstatic.

That, despite those things, all she did was tie has to tell her quite a lot.

They won't have Hillarity to kick around any more!

She could not sully herself by touching them after that.

The crazily unwarranted declaration of victory could be read as arrogance, or as a stunt, but I don't think that's what it was.

They BLEW IT. The team read their data wrong, and made a really bad call. Then someone saw MSNBC rolling their collective eyes and wondering what in the world they were thinking, realized they'd just ensured the big story would now be the premature claim of victory, and made a quick call to get out of Dodge immediately.

- Started out of the blue with no announcement, stepping all over Cruz' speech in the process, a severe breach of protocol.

- HRC gave a solid speech, but spoke awkwardly around the whole issue of who won. She bit off every word like she was chewing wood.

- The campaign apparently dropped elaborate plans for Bill and Chelsea to speak, and raced off without thanking the local team, another big breach of manners.

It reads like panic, not hubris.

Wow. These are not happy people.*



*Well, except for the kid with stickers on his face, who is clearly having a great time.

Brrrrrrrr!

defeat Obama.

There are a number of messed up precincts so maybe they know the results could (or will) turn.

I don't really care how they jiggle the numbers. They threw every dirty trick and an extra $29 million at Bernie and they couldn't beat him losing a 55 pt margin in 8 months. So they really lost. They missed theirr chance to bury him before he got going and they know it.

For all this crap they have spewed about his electability, they couldn't beat him. So some folks are going to say to themselves, "wait a minute ... what is this guy all about .. Hilary couldn't beat him with all her advantages" and Bernie will get a bump while Hillary takes one.

On Feb 9th, they're likely going to get creamed in New Hampshire. So they've got 20 pretty tough media days ahead of them and they know it - which is pretty damaging to her campaign. Bernie has 20 pretty good media days ahead of him. For the first time, some media will pay attention and give him some coverage - that helps as a free advertisement.

I don't expect media miracles. Some will continue to bushwhack him. But he came through a very tough stretch without getting knocked off and with about $50 mil in the bank.

Not too shabby. Not much for the Clintons to smile about.

They're runnin low on cash and had to pick up some "donations"..... besides, she's done with Iowans unless she needs them in the GE.....

She sees what she wants. Period.

It's after 3:00 a.m. here now, and there's still no sign of snow.

???

I wasn't there.

one throws away the rind.

That must have been pretty painful for her. She didn't get the result she wanted and was embarrassed on top of it. Not only was there an ego blow because of the results, she clearly thought for a moment it hadn't happened and it appears she may have found out while she was speaking on national television.

Campaigns are extremely emotionally taxing and I'm sure she was probably near tears and wanted to avoid people and be alone. She recovered well during her speech and I do not begrudge her the time it takes to decompress and regroup. Everything changed and there is work to do to regroup.

It was a pretty rotten night for her. She deserves some slack here.

You're right.

We should give her a 3am phone call to console her.
