    On Warner, Hillary and the Iowa Caucus

    As an Iowan for over 30 years and one who attends the Caucuses, I will be keeping an eye on Warner. I am not committed on anyone, at present.

    Hillary. I'm sorry, but no way in hell. She is flat out unelectable as President. She would be much more effective staying in the Senate and setting her sights on becoming Majority Leader. It will be possible. Maybe not this year, but soon.

    As to the Caucuses, I will be there. I will be trying to to keep the nutjob ideologues from spoiling our chances. Yes, you former Deanie Babies, I am talking about you and your ilk. Stop trying to be so noble and idealistic that you end up coming off like a bunch of gaaadam socialists and hurting any chance for real change.
