January 29 1st impressions.The Clinton appearance (kick-off for her campaign) in Des Moines was good and bad. As expected, the turnout was crazy. We arrived just after the doors were set to open and the place was already SRO.
Lot's of people - and I assume many political neophytes - jockeying for good spots.
We were moved at the last minute to an overflow room. Hillary came and spoke to our group for about five minutes. She was gracious and fully competent in person. No opinion yet on her candidacy, although it's almost a definite that she will be the front runner. Her star-power will knock out some folks right away. It's really hard to see how Biden, Richardson, and Vilsack can compete. I think the voters would give them a chance, but the media WILL NOT.
Press and money make SO much difference now and those three will get neither in sufficient amounts. January 20 Talking about Clinton: 'I’m in and I’m in to win' - Politics - MSNBC.com
