This may give Edwards and Obama supporters hope, dick morris thinks hillary can be stopped in Iowa
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307450,00.html

So can Hillary be beaten in Iowa? It all depends on whether, in this era of daily polling, her opponents can coalesce around whoever is in second place. Hillary won’t win a majority in Iowa, but, if Edwards and Obama continue to split the anti-Hillary vote, she will win a plurality. Such a victory will let her get out of Des Moines alive and will pave the way for truly dominating victories in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Michigan — then Florida and the rest of the nation will fall in line.

But if Edwards defers to Obama — or, more likely, his voters realize that they must back Barack in order to stop Hillary — a viable alternative to the New York senator could emerge. If Obama beats Hillary, even by the narrowest of margins, her entire sense of inevitability will vaporize and she could be defeated as the primary cycle continues.

The key is that Edwards, Obama and Dodd must devote their resources to relentless negative advertising and media attacks against Hillary and need to band together in the remaining debates to expose her falsifications of her positions. (Richardson, auditioning for vice president, and Biden, indulging his mid-life crisis, won’t do it.) But if the trio of her vigorous opponents, do their work, maybe, just maybe, she can be stopped.

9. You got that right
Bill Clinton got so angry at him before he left Arkansas that he had him in the floor of his home with his fist cocked, to let Morris have it, when Hillary grabed his arm to stop him from laying the hammer on him,

11. Yeah, he always said that the final candidates would be Condi and Hillary.
He gave me the impression that he wanted to see them down in the mud wrestling.

Literally. :evilgrin:

5. I assumed everyone knew
that it was possible, since they have been so close in polling. I've never seen Iowa as a given for Hillary. I don't think she does either.

7. You are funny
Everyone should have known from the start that Bill Clinton had someone in to stop Edwards, heck The Clintons used Clark in the last election to stop Edwards, how long is it going to take for people to wise up...Oboma isn't going to win, in many of the states, let Obomma get out , then Edwards, would tear her up and go on to win in 2008, other wise we may be living with another republican for 8 years.

12. At least he didn't say she would be stopped, which is what I feared when I read the headline
If Dick Morris says it, it probably won't happen.
But he's saying "maybe, just maybe, she can be stopped", which seems to suggest he thinks she won't be stopped. That does give me some hope.

13. Dick Morris NAILS IT! Don't blame the messenger when the message is true!



:sarcasm:



Dick Morris is a pos wh0remonger (though I can't imagine anyone having sex with him unless money was exchanged).:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:


Iowa is anyone's guess. The polls have Clinton and Obama running neck and neck, but Edwards could pull through...and Biden might surprise everyone and come in second...who knows?
