As we get closer to the Iowa caucus, I find myself thinking back to the 2008 presidential campaign.

A ffew thought as the year draws to an end.

What I remember about the 2008 election

As we get closer to the Iowa caucus, I find myself thinking back to the 2008 presidential campaign.

I know what it's like to go into the primaries up.

And I know what it's like to come out of them down.

We cannot get complacent. Anything can happen in politics.

Everywhere I travel, there’s an energy and enthusiasm that you may not read about in the papers—but I feel it on the ground.

Little girls in Iowa waving signs that say “I want to be president someday.”

Hillary would be president now had she taken the caucus' seriously in 2008. She definitely is this time. She is sworn in, in January 2017. I'd say 98 percent sure. Not 100 percent due to the world blowing up.
