Hillary Clinton did not have never an easy time in Iowa 7 years ago

I live in Iowa... and she had her problems.. passing out snow shovels had to be one of the dumbest moves ever (long story).. and starting about three months ago, we have had a huge push for Warren here.. Even though she is not running, people have been out with the honk if you support Warren campaign.. etc etc..

Having said all that.. with my ear to the ground and away from the old corn stalks While I was not at Kirkwood.. I was just listening to Democrats locally who watched it on TV.. they like how she came in and sat down and talked with people..

You did good Hillary team.. you did good.. I am sure each state has its own personality and how to approach the people there.. Obama's team really understood how to do it here.. Talk to people.. and have your team reach out to individuals..

And Hillary's team is doing a much better approach this time.. at least for Iowa..

There is no one running against her.. that is true.. but the most important thing was that people felt they could relate to her.. and that is what is most important in Iowa.. Like that old Kurt Vonnegut saying from Cats Cradle.. its a case of "I'm a Hoosier, your a Hossier"..tipping hat to Indiana
