Clinton urges Iowa voters to caucus on wrong day
Source: Reuters

DES MOINES (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton may have shot herself in the foot trying to get Iowa voters to pledge support to her -- she is encouraging them to caucus on January 14, 11 days too late.
....

In the upper right-hand corner of the card, it says "I, _____, pledge to support Hillary Clinton at my precinct caucus on January 14, 2008."

1. Did she get her cards mixed up with Obama's?
Mind you, she mixed up her own cards during that debate... the cue cards.

2. Someone in their staff probably screwed up.
Original date for the caucus was January 14th. It was changed to the 14th on October 28th.

3. Iowans know when to caucus.
This is just silly. I don't understand why it has gotten so much attention.

6. It seems like a good way to reduce the turnout, eh?
And of course it's a "mistake", so was the "Obama is a gay muslim" stuff. Politics is a contact sport.

8. At least we know she lost because it was just an error.
And we all know the turn out was way low.

10. regardless of what those cards say...
... I expect it's near impossible NOT to know the exact day of the caucuses in Iowa.

12. Did somebody say, "world-class genius"?
C'mon, we'd laugh our butts off if Mittens or Hucksterbee or Ghouliani did this, why not have a chuckle over the smartest woman in the world doing this?

16. Oops. Now the MSM has to decide whether they give Hillary more airtime and bring attention to her
campaign, or sit on their hands holding back a story they'd just LOVE to announce to embarrass her.

The freepers have over 50 responses going on this particular article, and most of them are about the size of her behind, which is about par for the course with those idiots.
