he gloves are off in the Democratic race, and its now abundantly clear that Bernie Sanders can throw a punch.
On Sunday night the Democratic presidential candidates met for their final debate before the Iowa caucuses. Hillary Clinton entered the debate with a 25-point lead in the national polls, a big fundraising advantage and a virtual monopoly on major endorsements.
But Clinton knows from personal experience that no lead is safe until the voting starts. In the 2008 presidential race she squandered an even bigger lead over Barack Obama.
Could history repeat itself in 2016? That question haunts the Clinton campaign team, particularly now that Sanders leads Clinton in New Hampshire and trails her by just two points in the latest Iowa poll.
Sunday nights debate will only add to Clintons worries. Sanders skillfully fended off Clintons attacks and emerged from the debate stronger than ever.
Clinton attacks backfired

In December 2007, two weeks before the 2008 Iowa caucuses, the Register endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton (in the Democratic caucuses) and John McCain (in the Republican caucuses).[12] In October 2008, the Register endorsed Barack Obama for president in the general election.[13]
In 2011, 24 days before the 2012 Iowa caucuses, the newspaper endorsed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in the 2012 Republican Iowa Caucuses. The Register endorsed Romney over Obama 10 days before the general election on October 27, 2012the first time it had supported a Republican for president since 1972.[14]
On July 24, 2015, the newspaper announced that it had been denied press credentials to cover a Donald Trump presidential campaign family picnic in Oskaloosa, Iowa, due to an editorial the previous week which called on Trump to drop out of the race.[15][1

The register has a history of supporting or fronting for the most conservative Democratic candidate running.

Not!!!
Firearms became reallowed in CHECKED luggage, unloaded and with advance paperwork...no passengers have access to that area.
And it's just like airlines!
But Hill keeps spewing the bullshit, trying to "suggest" something else. More of her deceptive BOO campaign tactics. What will be her next 3AM Phonecall style ad?
Disgraceful.
