(24,411 posts)I agree--Bernie had a live event. Hillary had a viewing party where she made an announcement.
Although seven is a pretty small number, I think there is something else going on that is reflected in this story.
Hillary Clinton is nowhere to be found in Iowa. She's been meeting with loyalists in closed-door meetings that are often not reported by the media--because the media are not allowed in. And if they are allowed in, it's just a select few.
Meanwhile, Bernie is giving big speeches, talking with people, answering questions, explaining his views.
I think there is a very major disparity in the way these two candidates are campaigning.
I'd also like to remind people that Hillary did not play well in Iowa in the 2008 caucuses, when she came in a distant third (Obama won; Edwards came in second). Iowans rejected her because she came off as distant, impersonal, canned and corporate.
I just find it a bit odd--that she continues to campaign in a fashion that is pretty much shoving Progressives (and many Democrats) right into the arms of Bernie Sanders.
It's worth noting.
