DON'T FORGET BERNIE – AT 10:48 A.M. ET:  The Dems are suddenly in love with Joe Biden, at least for a week.  But the guy who's getting the crowds in still Bernie Sanders, socialist of Vermont.  I think the party machinery will eventually crush Sanders, who can't even boast a single scandal to his name, but he's giving the queen a run for her considerable wad of money.  From Bloomberg: 

Hillary Clinton’s once-prohibitive advantage in Iowa has slipped enough to jeopardize her front-runner status and Bernie Sanders has moved to within striking distance, revealing a Democratic presidential field in unexpected flux as Vice President Joe Biden mulls whether to make a late entrance into the race.

The results of the latest Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll, released Saturday, show Clinton is now the first choice of 37 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers in the state where the first ballots of the presidential contest will be cast early in 2016. She's followed by Sanders at 30 percent and Biden at 14 percent. It’s the first time the poll has had Clinton's support under 50 percent.

In May, the Iowa Poll put Clinton, a former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady, at 57 percent, Sanders at 16 percent, and Biden at 8 percent.

"It looks like what people call the era of inevitability is over," said J. Ann Selzer, president of West Des Moines, Iowa-based Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll. "She has lost a third of the support that she had in May, so any time you lose that much that quickly, it’s a wake-up call."

COMMENT:  The wind has gone out of Hillary's campaign.  All that's left is hot air.  Not only does she have an FBI investigation hanging over her, it's increasingly clear that she isn't even a good candidate.  Further, she's held many jobs, but doesn't have many accomplishments to show for her tenure.  She's the classic ticket puncher. 

Comparing Republicans this week to terrorists and Nazis has not improved Hillary's reputation.
