The same day, a new Iowa poll shows Clinton in the lead: http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2007/10/clintons-good-day-in-iowa-she-leads-in.html
Talk about momentum!

" For the most part, her speech prompted cheers and applause from the audience, but when she criticized the Iraq war, one young man shouted, "You voted for it!" a comment that was all but ignored by the candidate and the crowd."

that was me. Read my coverage here:

Whoopdedoo. Your husband helped me in my failed Dem presidential bid, and I'll help his wife in her failed(hopefully before the primaries ends) presidential bid. You help me, i'll help you. And the band played on. Thanks, Mr McGovern, for your service to this country, but i'll pass on your candidate.
Status quo indeed(no more dynasties).

This is OLD NEWS. Do you have something else?
Or is it just a slow news day?

McGovern? Is he still alive?

Okay. Ladies first is a reason to support a candidate? And someone said she's learned some lessons. If she has, why is she still in bed with lobbyists and special interests? I see the real Hillary. She wants power; she wants to be the first woman president; she wants to be a statistic in the history books. I don't see her becoming President to help me and my family out, to bring peace and prosperity to American and world.

McGovern is as valued as a conjoined case of mumps and tertiary syphillis. Send the bastar* to Canada or to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. He is a looser base raised to the power of 10 to the 99th.

An endorsement from George McGovern.
Now the far righters can claim he is one of Rush's phony soldiers.

"As Clinton left, supporters chanted "I-O-W-A, Hillary Clinton all the way."

The post leaves the impression that this chant was coming from grass roots supporters, that would be wrong! Iowans, especially in Iowa City, home of the Iowa Hawkeyes would not start a candidate chant using the Hawkeye marching band chant I-0-W-A. It would almost be hieratical, especially in Iowa City. No these weren't Hillary's grassroots supporters, they were her paid staff, which doesn't realize that Hawkeye fans, including many of her supporters, find it wrong to take the bands traditional marching cheer, and attach it to their candidate. The only thing worse would be if her staff learned the hand signals the band uses as they march and chant I-O-W-A. Hillary's statewide paid staff (which shows up in full force to events like the Bar-B-Q, Harkin's Steak Fry, and the Hall of Fame dinner)was the group chanting "I-O-W-A, Hillary Clinton all the way." just as they were the only ones doing it at the Hall of Fame dinner, and Harkin's Steak Fry. The young women on youtube from the Hall of Fame dinner proclaiming how inspiring Hillary was is paid staff worker. Johnson County is Obama country, and Edwards is second. Hillary's campaign doesn't have the political sense to know you don't take the marching bands chant from the states largest university, as your own cheer, and you especially don't do it at that college town, on a football Saturday, especially when the team is struggling, and lost that day on the road at Penn State.At least not if she wants to find votes in Iowa City.

And this endorsement is supposed to be what, beneficial to Senator Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the general election? While I do not fault you for posting this item, it really seems to be no big deal, substantively speaking.

reminds me of Gov. Engler endorsing Bush in MI ---Bush lost big time----sure went away angry---Engler lost his promised job with Bushie---but does not mean Mccain will win here again------too much war on his mind and we still remember the robo calls the Bushie mob made to this state,Mommy Bush,Jebby,Robertson----pretty nasty and what does mccain do---kis Bushie and campaign for him.Cannot forget the skit on SNL about mccain speaking for Bush---hilarious

I'm sorry...I have to jump in and say: WHERE IS THE MSM IN COVERING Patrick McHenry???? I have searched all over, and it looks like no one wants to touch (yet another) GOP scandal. This could potentially uncover not only a male prostitution ring, but a significant amount of voter/election FRAUD during critical elections in Florida. What is going on? Why hasn't there been a hint of this story?

Molly ,thanks for pointing this out. This candidate's(name deleted) slogan shud be ' HOW TO INSULT THE CITIZENS OF A STATE'. Start by leaking earlier on, the possibility of skipping the caucus(signalling that they don't count)/plastering your signs on private property(without owner's permission)/leave your signs on ppl's car(without their permission)/accuse Iowan questioners of being 'plants'/and now the chant that u mentioned above. What is she going to do next?
But just remember, the media is saying that her campaign is flawless and that she is majestic. LOL
Finally, telling Iowans that she is 'the inevitable one'(which they do not appreciate).

I would hae to see anoher republican in the pesidency, but Fred Thompson seams to be the only man that is truely able to take on the task. I would very much like to know if he is pro choice. That will be my determing vote. He is the only person in the running that is not promicing things tht he cannot deliver.

George McGovern must be getting even with the Clintons for working on his campaign in 1972.

One loser backing another loser.

Vernon V. Vincent,

Despite having taken money from an abortion rights group to lobby for them, Fred Thompson claims to be a pro-life candidate. As a pro-life conservative, I would never representn an abortion-rights client nor take one on by accepting a fee to represent them. Accordingly, I have serious problems with Fred Thompson as a true conservative.

A: Probably for the same reason that the MSM is not doing any heavy hitting on the voluntary disappearence of Atlantic Citys Democrat Mayor,who got out of Dodge after his phony ''service''in Vietnam was exposed last week. To date,he is still on the run. Then too,[in the same state],the FBI arrests of a Bakers Dozens worth of Democrat state legislators on rackateering and corruption charges briefly breached the MSM waves,then sank into the Marianas Trench.

It was very intereting to hear McGovern saying he would hope to live longer to see a black president. Actually what he said was it is not time for Barack Obama and he would hope to see one day. Is he playing a race Black/white card here? Is the clinton Camp desperate enough to go that route? Wow....IOWA people are smart enought to elect a person who will take us beyond this time- to the 21st century.

Fire up and ready to GO!
