Wampum Points Out That Today's WP Article Forgot Clinton
"For someone to suggest that they can stay out of the story and ignite the campaign without the benefit of all that attention is not supported by the great weight of historical evidence."
Historical evidence, eh? You mean, like....1992?...
Hmmm... so he lost Iowa by a landslide to favorite son, Tom Harkin, and by more than a hair in New Hampshire to former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas. Hmmm...no, that scenario doesn't sound at all familiar. Heck, a few days later, he even lost North Dakota to Bob Kerrey, and Delaware to Jerry Brown (obviously a favorite son there - must have been the flat tax proposal.)
Clinton didn't get his first win until Georgia on March 3rd. South Carolina followed the week after. After Super Tuesday, everyone but Brown dropped out.
EL - but 1992 is like so yesterday.
