“I think historically young people have not voted in the Iowa caucus because they are from other states,” Bill Clinton tells MTV News. “This time we had a lot of students who did come back and I think, frankly, thousands and thousands of them came back from Illinois to support Senator Obama….”
The former president has quickly figured out that the Barack Obama campaign successfully used out-of-state youth to blanket the state in strategic locations to caucus in Iowa and support Obama, which gave the illusion of a groundswell of support. However, as we’ve previously noted, most of the young people Obama recruited to caucus in Iowa would not have been eligible to vote in a general election.
Since the illusion came to fore, however, psychological politics have taken over. The media and many blogs have made it seem that Obama’s win in Iowa was the result of a greater Democratic mood change in America — against Hillary. And, in turn, the coverage, according to the latest polls from New Hampshire at least, is causing more primary voters in that state to want to support a winner. And Obama, based on his manipulative Iowa performance, has been crowned that prince by many in the press, especially, for instance, Chris Matthews of MSNBC.
“[W]e haven’t made that mistake here; we’ve reached out to young people here and I think we just have to keep trying,” Clinton said of the situation regarding Hillary in New Hampshire.
[…] O’Reilly: No Love for Obama’s Staff » Why Does Chris ‘Rangoon’ Matthews Hate Hillary? Obama’s Questionable Brochure to Out-of State Iowa Students Monday January 7th, 2008 8:12 AM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Scandals, Barack Obama TheBarack Obama campaign blanketed college campuses in Iowa with thousands of brochures, which read, “If you are not from Iowa, you can come back for the Iowa caucus and caucus in your college neighborhood.” […]
Every candidate knew that Iowa college students with out-of-state hometowns can caucus in their college state. It’s legal, period. It’s sour grapes to complain about it after the fact just because Sen. Clinton’s entitled ‘inevitable’ message hasn’t resonated with young voters (or barely ANY demographic in Iowa).
Obama plays dirty tricks. Hillary stayed above that.
“Legal but controversial” per the Des Moines Register — hardly a dirty trick. It’s something the other candidates wished they could have attracted but couldn’t due to their senior-citizenn leaning messages.
Hillary did not buy votes. She did not offer 200.00 for gas to college students.He never says what he is going to change.There is not going to be a united country but a divided country. Wake up America!!!!!
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say the press has purposely given Barack a free ride.
Young people are voting, young people are voting — run for your lives!!
Barack is a hypocrite. Barack is a hypocrite. He played dirty politics.
I had to make another comment. Barrack HUSSEIN obama gave a speech today and he was making fun of President Bushs speaking ability. Some of you may not like Bush but someone that is running for president should not be doing that. The press has given him a free ride and obama thinks he can say anything he wants to and until the news media starts to put him under fire it will always be like that. If that was Hillay or some of the others talking about him like that it would be racism. So america wake up
