1. Ouch for Clinton.

2. This is the same state where McCain came in 4th in during the Rethug primary

I would expect Obama to win the state by 4-6 points. It'll be a swing state, but it'll lean Obama heavily.

3. Iowa Doesn't Count

move on, nothing to see here.

8. Of course not...........Iowans

Are only interested in being FIRST!

They don't matter, too small a state, too liberal, not any real solid people, filled with transients, inner city areas like Iowa will always go for the minority candidate.

How many excuses will we hear in the week ahead by James and Ed and other Hillary surrogates?

9. IA has 7 electoral votes, if we win IA, NV, and CO we don't even need OH

11. CO Going BO

so many kids who were registered as Indies can't wait to vote for him.

16. Yes, but we were the FIRST state not tocount!

We started it :P

4. Doesnt help that she shits on Iowa and NH to try to get MI and FL to count.

[BeyondGeography]

5. She pissed all over them and their caucus when she lost

In return, she'll never win there.

6. Make Obama the nominee already.

7. That news will just bend the HRC people out of shape.

And all the woe-is-us people won't like that either. They thrive on awful news regarding Dems. :eyes:

10. The People of Iowa are picking on Hillary because

she is a woman

Happens all the time in almost every state, these people who are sexist should not have the right to have their votes count!!!

<<sarcasm off>>

12. Hillary doesn't like Iowa and Iowa returns the favor.

Of course, I assume President Obama will love Iowa forever. :loveya:

15. I know! Barack would have had a hard time if he did not win Iowa

That was the moment when blacks started to back him. When they saw that he could win a state that was mostly white they took notice. My FIL was all set to vote for Hillary (gag!). After Iowa he said he would back Barack all the way. :) Then Bill started all that crap in South Carolina and that just firmed up the black support.

13. Smaller states seem to have a really long memory.

14. The people in Iowa really don't like Hillary

First she gets third place in the primary. Then Barack wins even more delegates at their convention. Now McCain is kicking her butt in a poll there. I have never been to Iowa but I think I might like it there. They have good taste when it comes to presidential candidates. :)
