That is definitely a spin. If she loses NH, she has some major problems. 2d won't do anything for her. Nevada is a wild card, and I believe there is still a major union endorsement pending (could be wrong on that), and the AA community in SC has already begun to flip, even before IA.

To be fair, they’ve been preemptively spinning this loss for the last week.

I think some criticism of the Iowa process is also justified - but more by Dodd, Richardson and Biden supporters than Hillary’s.

I wouldn’t count Hillary out yet. If she fails to come in second in New Hampshire though, she’ll be in serious trouble.

The geniuses in HRC’s back room clearly didn’t anticipate this walloping, so they had to cobble something together on the fly, but it’s a pretty poor effort.

She has almost as much support nationally as Obama and Edwards combined. And her support is a lot more solid than Obama or Edwards.

That’s just ridiculous. Hillary got smoked. And she’ll get smoked again in New Hampshire.
