Is Hitlery Avoiding Iowa?

From the Political Wire:

On Fox News last night, the chairman of Iowa's Democratic party said that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is not laying the adequate groundwork for a presidenial campaign in the first caucus state and that many are starting to speculate she may not run if Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) enters the race.

Said Iowa Democratic Chair Rob Tully: "She's been quiet and, you know, there's a question that we all hear is that she may not get in this if Barack Obama gets in. I have never seen a reaction other than Bill Clinton in terms of the excitement that people have to meet Barack Obama. Some people just wanted to touch him."

One other possible reason: According to the Quad City Times, former Democratic state party chairman Dave Nagle said he is concerned candidates might eventually choose not to come to Iowa with Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack (D) in the race.

Considering that Vilsack was finishing fourth in Iowa this past summer (and probably fifth today behind empty suit and the media wonderhype from Illinois, Senator Barack HUSSEIN Obama), I don't think there's much cause for alarm. Has the IDP learned anything from the 1992 race? We'll find out next year.
