According to The Los Angeles Times, Iowa voters are now saying that she came across as simultaneously more confident and congenial this time around compared to her 2008 campaign.

One person from Iowa named Lois Boone of Sioux City said, "She's not the fuzziest person in the world, but she's a lot fuzzier than she was then."

In fact, during her campaign stops this week, she repeatedly said to voters that she's a grandmother and that her daughter, Chelsea, is expecting her second child this summer. She also talked about the hardship of caring for sick relatives.

Even as Hillary discussed typical hot topics like economy, terrorism and gun control, she made sure to trickle the voter's more intimate concerns like battling Alzheimer's and helping children with autism. In addition, the leading Democratic candidate even asked members of the crowd to raise their hand if they know someone affected by either condition.

This time around, she isn't taking any chances and has upgraded her ground game on the state.

2. She became a better candidate as '07 dragged on

There were plenty of opportunities for Obama to knock her out of the race, be he could never quite do it.

It's clear that she's learned from the '07 experience. Not only is Bernie not Obama, Hillary isn't Hillary.

3. Yes and I truly like the town hall meetings she is having,

Meeting with smaller groups, as they say, you can not hear if you are talking, Hillary is listening.

4. I voted for her in '08...

But, I didn't know she was a war monger. She lost me.

5. This will be in a big headache for her opponent in the general election. Good!

The RW's efforts to appeal to their base probably ends up alienating MORE people than are actually IN their base.
