DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Hillary Rodham Clinton juggernaut is coming to Iowa. Martin O'Malley already has beaten her to the early-voting state.

The former Maryland governor was in a Des Moines tavern this past week, playing guitar and singing Irish folk tunes. He had a lunch with Democratic activists in the college town of Ames, and spent Friday night talking up his populist economic message at a party banquet in the capital.

For months, O'Malley has largely had Iowa to himself as Clinton slow-played her entry into the 2016 race for race.

O'Malley's Iowa advantage, if there was one at all, should be coming to an end Sunday when Clinton planned to make her much-anticipated announcement that she's running for the nomination for a second time. Clinton fell short in 2008 against Barack Obama.

A trip to Iowa is expected to follow soon afterward.

1. Clinton/O'Malley ticket?

[Splinter Cell]

2. No. Thanks.

Any ticket with Hillary on it is a failure on the part of the Democratic party.

3. This, 100%

Even more so if Hillary can only beat back a threat from her left by adding him to her ticket.
