Hillary Doesn't Give a Damn About Utah

Just a reminder that Hilary Clinton doesn't give a damn about Utah.

A review of candidate visits to the state of Utah:

Mitt Romney: numerous fundraisers, call centers in Sandy and Provo
Ron Paul: Rally at Union Pacific Depot
Rudy Giulliani: Fundraiser at Steve Harmsen's home
John McCain came for a fundraiser, too
Gov Richardson: Spoke at Jefferson Jackson dinner
Chris Dodd: Spoke at State Democratic Convention
John Edwards: Fundraiser at the Depot
Barack Obama: Fundraiser in Park City with 1000 person strong rally in Kimball Junction. Rumored visit next Saturday, weekend before Tsunami Tuesday

I'm forgetting someone. Let's see, who is it?

Oh yeah, that's right.

Hillary Clinton.

Hillary sent Bill back in November to do a couple of fundraisers. And now, she's sending Chelsea, who hasn't appeared in public alone for her mom before the past week.

But where is Hillary? Not in Utah.

Because she doesn't give a damn about us....

I wonder what Mitt and Obama said to each other....

I wish the conversations would have been miked....

Clinton not the leader in Iowa

Anyone who is sick of hearing that Hillary Clinton is the presumptive Democratic Nominee will be glad to hear this from the Washington Post:

The top three Democratic contenders remain locked in a close battle in Iowa, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) seeing her advantages diminish on key fronts, including the questions of experience and which candidate is best prepared to handle the war in Iraq, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama gets the support of 30 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa, compared to 26 percent for Clinton, 22 percent for former senator John Edwards and 11 percent for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. The results are only marginally changed from a Post-ABC poll in late July, but in a state likely to set the course for the rest of the nominating process, there are significant signs of progress for Obama -- and harbingers of concern for Clinton....

Obama is running even with Clinton among women in Iowa, drawing 32 percent to her 31 percent, despite the fact that the Clinton campaign has built its effort around attracting female voters.

I have seen other polls that have Hillary ahead by as much as 10% in Iowa, but those polls had her ahead by 20% just a month ago.

Making Up Stories to Wear On Your Lapel

So, there was a big dustup last week about the fact that Barack Obama doesn't wear an American Flag Lapel pin.

Problem is, nobody else does, either.

The Caucus pulled photos from the last Democratic and Republican debates where most of the candidates appeared (before today, of course.)

It turns out that in the last Democratic debate, only 3 candidates eve bothered to wear lapel pins. Kucinich wore his official Congressional pin, Edwards wore a pin from his late son that he always wore, and Richardson wore an unknown pin.

In the Republican Debate, only two Republicans wore lapel pins. Rudy was sporting the American Flag, and Ron Paul sporting the Congressional pin.

Just annother attempt by the media to slam Obama.

P.S. Given the number of American Flag and other pins that come from China, maybe we should have them tested for lead paint. I'm just sayin....

Being Stubborn Isn't A Foreign Policy

I like Bill Richardson. He's my second choice of Presidential Candidates.

Here's a new ad from him. The title of this post is the last line, and it's the best quote on Foreign Policy I've seen.
