Yesterday, we interviewed CNN’s Candy Crowley, longtime political correspondent and coolest chick on TV.
We caught up with her between live shots and pre-caucus conference calls in Des Moines. She dished with CJP about the candidates, about what Iowa’s results will mean for the rest of the country, and how the women’s vote is stacking up. Would she venture a guess about who’s going to win tonight? “Not on your life!” View the very best break-down we’ve seen anywhere of the political year ahead below.
“if I did have an idea I wouldn’t tell you but I can tell you that I don’t have an idea”–great quote! Glad to see this longer interview from one of the best…all we need from the candidates and their hench(wo)men are sound bites, but good analysis takes longer. Now, can we make requests? Put me down for Judy Woodruff (who is in Iowa doing analysis and reporting for the NewsHour), Eleanor Clift (please do your best John McLaughlin impression during the interview) and Cokie Roberts, please!
In Canada we think Hillary is the “GOLDA MEIER” needed to clean up the American mess and leave the next election to some Obama or Mexican “Jimmy Carter. Obama is a white man’s quilt vote or a 60’s dream Jimmy Carter. Don’t you need a person who could not take only take on the embarrassment of Bill but the hubris of the health care industry.
In other words you guys need a president with cojones larger than Obama/Jimmy Carter.
Lets face it Hillary is boring! And Im still curious about this momentum everyone claims she is having. Quite naturally she won Rhode Island, but Obama won Vermont. Then with her sneak thief poltics she got Ohio. She won that primary, okay we will give her that.But after that, this so called momentum comes to a halt.The media keeps talking about her sweeping Texas? Which makes me feel like I was the only one watching that primary. Hillary won Texas by a squeek, 51-48. And when you further break that down, Obama won more delegates, and by every indication he will also win the caucus in Texas, when ever they finish counting it. So the math shows that she really lost Texas, and won Ohio which makes them 2-2. So when Hillary goes into Pennsylvania there wont be any momentum for her to speak of. Sorry Hillary, your just boring. Signed- Roman Concerned
