HILLARY’S new talking points.

Meanwhile, reader Jody Green emails: “The start of this election is a little scary and has started with two populist, eloquent demagogues. They talk about hope when half the world hopes to be in America.”

UPDATE: The votes are all in, and Hillary’s come in third, behind Obama and Edwards.

MORE: TigerHawk: “If the nominees really turn out to be Huckabee and Obama, the paternalists will have won long before November. And the jihadis will not have done too badly either.” Ugh.

FINALLY: Big Iowa reaction roundup here.

And Fred Thompson: “We just got our ticket to the next dance.”
