If Hillary started the campaign as a gun totin, beer guzzlin, pickup drivin country gal, would she..

have won this thing by now? Or would she have been laughed out of Iowa?

If you pick the later (that she would have been laughed out of Iowa), why are folks in Indiana now buying it?

[blm]

1. Laughed out of Iowa and New Hampshire, NY and Massachusetts, and California.

3. You're right! Can't get your personnas mixed up...you might find

yourself ordering beer and a Crown Royal chaser on Beacon Hill. Being all things to all people can be really tricky.

2. She would have been laughed outta California and Texas

and for different reasons.

4. So does she double down next election cycle by cookin roadkill and chewin tabacca?

Might as well go with what works, ey?

5. I don't know about now - but the Indiana I knew when I grew up there in the

1950s and 1960s - did not even like girls chewing gum in public! There are whole sections of the state where people don't drink - and that was not a relatively sedate Clinton sitting at a table drinking while listening to Hoosiers. I know what that picture would have appeared to be in the 1960s - let's just say the word "classy" would not have been used. (to put it mildly, I doubt any 21 year old friend I had would not have been in trouble with parents if they saw pictures of her shoting whiskey in a bar - and this was the late 1960s.)

6. why didnt she just run as a republican? she obviously is one

then in November against Obama, she'd get the rw mouth-breather vote and the racist...uh nevermind

7. Careful, McCain may still pick her as VP!!!

Assuming Lieberman declines, that is...
