5. About a week ago, she was giving a speech in Iowa. The background and stage area was rigged to look

like a rural setting. There is a photo of her standing in a wagon, giving a speech, which I promptly dubbed her manure spreader speech, supplying the bullshit for fertilizer. I was only having a little fun, but I was condemned by others on this board for making jokes about Hillary. Needless to say, I vowed that I would cease to make any further jokes about her campaign.

4. Her crowd was half his. Folks in Des Moines had to choose today between the two.

"Our message to the president is clear," Clinton told a crowd of about 250. "It is time to begin ending this war _ not next year, not next month _ but today."

In an automative technology classroom at a local community college, Obama said told a crowd of about 500 that an upcoming report on the war's progress will show that Iraq's political leaders have not achieved any of the goals.

The dueling appearances forced central Iowa Democrats to choose which candidate they most wanted to hear talk about the country's future.
