The "Iowa Starting Line" Awards sound real impressive...

Until you find out they are "awarded" by a single guy with a year old blog who was a Clinton staffer in the 2008 campaign. I'd be embarrassed to base an OP lauding my candidate for weak deceptive shit like that.

that the Hillary campaign uses to fluff up their image.

So much of it is fake and orchestrated PR tactics with very little substance.

Iowa Starting Line is a news site devoted to bringing readers breaking news, in-depth analysis, and general coverage of Iowa Caucus and Iowa political news. Founded in January of 2015 by Pat Rynard...

Pat Rynard is a former Democratic campaign staffer who has lived in Iowa for the past 12 years...He later went on to work for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and has worked on a number of state legislative races in field and management roles, including serving as the statewide field director for the Senate Majority Fund.

And Iowa Starting Line gave out awards for best Iowa caucus campaigns--and gave them all to Hillary Clinton.

Oh geez. Seriously?
