DAVENPORT, IA -- Back in the spin room, Sen. Chris Dodd continued his harsh words for Hillary Clinton's "scars" line about the lessons she learned from the health care policy collapse of 1993. "[If] we're talking about leadership that can get a job done, and what you point to is a point in time when policy failed, and leadership failed, it's a little difficult for me to accept that's the kind of experience you want to highlight." He went on to say that Clinton isn't the only one who suffered scars from the nineties implosion. "It's also the scars that millions of Americans have paid because fifteen years ago we didn't get the job done because of mismanagement."
And, speaking for Joe Biden, state senator Joe Seng (D-Davenport) said there's a method to the senator's jokes about the rumors that he's running for Secretary of State. "I think he had a reason for that, and I think he's exploited it," he said of Biden's laughing mention of the media speculation about the job he's "really" angling for. "He's the only candidate who's been suggested as Secretary of State, and for good reason."
That's it from Davenport. Goodnight!
