John, I’m only one person and does your comment imply you are one of those political junkies?
Eric, a downward spiral does not guarantee an outcome, it is only an observation based on other reports.
Hugh, if Obama places first or a close 2nd in Iowa the left side race could get interesting.
J. Madison, your view is close to mine, some of the media opinions may be right that Obama’s steady rise in the polls spooked her into mistakes.
Thomas, trouble? Maybe. Scary? Definitely. I remember being curious about what a Clinton administration woul d be like when ‘they’ were first running in the nineties. I don’t have to wonder any more and don’t want to see a third term.

Thanks for stoppin’ in everyone and thanks for taking time to share your opinions.

She’s in trouble, but will probably pull out of it. I still believe that she is a scary candidate. She alternate claims complete control (the hostage day) or blind ignorance (’It’s news to me!’). Yet she is the most micromanaging of people. She gives the impression that she can run the White House, but cannot lead a free people. She just doesn’t trust us - any of us.

Clinton has gotten ultra soft treatment from the mainstream media. She has been protected in a cacoon. No one can ask her tough questions. The media are kept at bay. Everything is planned and scripted. Clinton has no leadership experience and will fall apart during the general election, if not during the later primary season. She needs to be challenged more, by the media and by her competitors. Her sense of entitlement and the near universal acquiesence to it is beyond comprehension in a democracy. Hillary Clinton would be a disaster as president. Fortunately, the American people will not let it happen. She will sink farther than Dukaksis, McGovern, and Mondale.

Clinton’s recent negativity has already cost her Iowa, and I think it might cost her the election. Obama has stayed mostly positive, and focussed mostly on ideas. I think he will win Dem nomination. Can he win presidency? Only time will tell.

Opinion blogs are precisely that, opinion blogs. And bloggers, for the most part have never liked Clinton, so of course they’ll be singing the Swan Song. Clinton is strong and will be the nominee. Obama is an interesting candidate whose time has not yet arrived, and he can be compared to Howard Dean in 04. Most people are scared to go in any drastic new direction and will thus choose a candidate based on experience and strength. I like Obama but I’ve been in the presence of Hillary, and she has the gravitas of a President. Clinton probably won’t win in Iowa but she won’t be blown out either - her support will solidify in New Hampshire (it’s always been good to the Clintons) and she will take Nevada/Florida, having tremendous momentum going into Super Tuesday. I will be proud to call her my nominee, and later, my president.

When are you folks going to realize that this sort of trivia is only of interest to political junkies of right or left and the chattering classes in the beltway. It really is of massive unimportance. I think this blog is celebrating too soon. If she isn’t the nominee for the Dems I’ll eat my hat.
