Hillary preparing to lose Iowa, NH. [View all] Admiral Loinpresser Jun 2015 OP

I wonder why Martin O'Malley hasn't gained more traction Frances Jun 2015 #1

There is still time. Hopefully he will get more coverage because he has important things to say. SaranchaIsWaiting Jun 2015 #4

I like O'Malley and Bernie as well. Admiral Loinpresser Jun 2015 #14

O'Malley put in place egregious police tactics in Baltimore. SleeplessinSoCal Jun 2015 #28

Violent crime dropped in Baltimore 48% while he was mayor. This checks out in fact checker. RiverLover Jun 2015 #55

Violent crime was dropping everywhere, even in cities without zero tolerance shaayecanaan Jun 2015 #160

Exactly. He would be an extremely divisive president. SleeplessinSoCal Jun 2015 #179

his policing policies involved much more than zero-tolerance bigtree Jun 2015 #180

Perhaps Marty should perform a little, to give it some oomph though I've not seen him in action! appalachiablue Jun 2015 #91

I'm thinking it's his hair. Way to groomed. I like Bernie's hair. Just sayin'. nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #21

Right now I think it's that Clinton and Sanders are sucking up all the air rpannier Jun 2015 #22

Way more than political junkies are watching THIS race right now. That is what is so sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #37

Amen.... daleanime Jun 2015 #46

I agree. Raine1967 Jun 2015 #120

He's too safe and too much in the middle of Bernie and Hillary. Bernie has nothing to lose so he's craigmatic Jun 2015 #39

Maybe because Mr. Sanders has the better name recognition at this point. Betty Karlson Jun 2015 #41

Sanders offers a more complete alternative to Clinton. O'Malley feels like a compromise. Romulox Jun 2015 #79

He will. Too many folks are in their bubbles and will be surprised when the actual primaries occur. FSogol Jun 2015 #109

This is shaping up to be a very interesting race... CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2015 #2

I heard the other day that only 10-15 Hillary Clinton supporters were left on the board davidpdx Jun 2015 #10

Good one davidpdx Jun 2015 #53

How would anyone know that? ohheckyeah Jun 2015 #27

I'm saying that's what a Hillary Clinton supporter told me the other day davidpdx Jun 2015 #54

OK - ohheckyeah Jun 2015 #59

Maybe the rest of them are dodging imaginary sniper fire. HooptieWagon Jun 2015 #102

I'm not dodging any sniper fire, and I'm certainly not afraid of Sanders Supporters Sheepshank Jun 2015 #135

Ya it's the the expectations game. Cheese Sandwich Jun 2015 #6

Interesting. This would suggest Hillary is planning a long contest like 2008. morningfog Jun 2015 #8

I would have thought she and her campaign would have learned a lot from 2008 davidpdx Jun 2015 #13

The problem is that she, like the leopard, can't change her spots. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #26

And so many of us..... daleanime Jun 2015 #48

Well... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #73

The last Iowa poll had her ahead 54-12. brooklynite Jun 2015 #75

Yep. From two weeks ago. Her internal poll must be showing a trend. morningfog Jun 2015 #76

Exactly. And the person quoted in the OP doesn't pretend to have any information otherwise. stevenleser Jun 2015 #118

Why would her campaign set up expectations that she will lose jeff47 Jun 2015 #137

You didn't ask me, but I can imagine a few possible motivations. Marr Jun 2015 #148

Except it's not her campaign doing it. It's an unaffiliated Democrat who made it up. stevenleser Jun 2015 #177

Then why is her campaign setting up expectations that she will lose? (nt) jeff47 Jun 2015 #136

I noticed it in an OP where a old guard Dem strategist lowered HRC expectations in IA and NH aikoaiko Jun 2015 #9

Wow, they're polling must be telling them that Sanders is doing well... CoffeeCat Jun 2015 #36

You have to wonder.... daleanime Jun 2015 #49

It's the truth...Iowa is homogeneous and in no way representative of the United States. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #65
