What’s conservative hatred of Hillary to do now she’s UnderDog? Her name on many conservative blogs is a curse word, have you noticed?

Hillary's loss in Iowa yesterday by a large margin makes her, for the first time, Underdog. How will this translate in conservative attacks on her? There are many posts today in the political arena on Iowa, too many to digest or summarize so soon. If Hillary stays a strong 2nd or 3rd up until the final selection of the Democratic nominee, and the Right sticks with just pulverizing Hillary, the Right may  lay the groundwork for a shining, untouched Obama or Edwards for the undecided middle electorate of American voters.

How will the conservative movement take on Obama? Very tricky stuff. The safe track is attack Obama's short resume, his naiveté. But Obama uses his newness to the political scene as a badge, and if this type of attack by the Right does not work, things will get nasty. Remember with blogging now a large force in politics, there is NO CONTROL OVER MESSAGE. This has been up to now conservative’s big advantage. Keep to message. Short and powerful. The Left never stuck to any message. The American Left is a hodgepodge of many interests; the American Right’s interests can be listed on one hand.

Then finally, John Edwards. Like Kennedy, and unlike. Good looking, rich and articulate, yet Edwards is focused on the plight of the middle class and poor. Kennedy spoke to us in broad strokes and did not play the division card. Kennedy spoke to every American, Edwards is decidedly the enemy of the rich and powerful. Class struggle it seems in Iowa, is still more interesting then Hillary Clinton, by 1%. Attacking Edwards will be much easier, old school politics for the Right.

And then there’s Huckabee. What a wonderful last name. Makes your tongue and lips jump around. And Obama. These last names are not for lazy tongues. Both way better then “Bush” or "Biden." Whatever the name, add ‘Recession’ to the 2008 political stew and the Republican Party is sunk. China warns us not to lower interest rates. Wall Street and the White House demand it. Greenspan is looking like the Cheshire Cat about right now, isn't he?

Stay tuned,
