How Clinton Could Lose Iowa

I wrote a commentary on Iowa Independent today about Sen. Hillary Clinton’s vulnerability in Iowa. Here’s the gist:

Clinton’s rivals cannot plan to beat the New York Senator by attacking her on specific policy proposals or waiting for her to make gaffes, because Clinton is not going to give anyone enough of that material to work with. Defeating her will take a series of attacks surrounding one question, asked of caucus goers: “How well do you really know Sen. Clinton?”

If the campaign continues on its current track, even Clinton’s strongest supporters might answer “Not very well.”
