 A campaign crater for the Clintons
By Wesley PrudenSo this is what a cratering Clinton campaign looks like: Hillary, thrashing about on the stump and suddenly looking 20 years older, with Bubba, desperate not to be relegated to "husband of," reduced to whining about the cruelty of "them lyin' newspapers." No morning in America here, just the gloom of the approaching winter's dusk.

By Wesley PrudenSo this is what a cratering Clinton campaign looks like: Hillary, thrashing about on the stump and suddenly looking 20 years older, with Bubba, desperate not to be relegated to "husband of," reduced to whining about the cruelty of "them lyin' newspapers." No morning in America here, just the gloom of the approaching winter's dusk.Giving up her campaign to be the national nanny, she's auditioning as funny, warm and cuddly, and if she can pull off this acting job she ought to get an Oscar if not the presidency. Talk about casting against type. (You could ask Bubba.)Her suddenly flagging campaign, buoyed now only by lots of money, could take a tiny measure of reassurance in the weekend endorsement of the Des Moines Register, a tepid vote of confidence by a tepid newspaper: "Determination to succeed and learning from her mistakes has been the hallmark of [Mrs.] Clinton's life." But that's thin soup, and brings to mind the mistakes, not whatever she learned from them. Hillary can take no consolation from the history of the Iowa caucus, which has become relevant mostly because it's the first test and gives the newspapers and the tag-along media something to manufacture excitement about. Winning in Iowa is no springboard to the conventions. Past winners include such former Democratic presidents as John Edwards, Tom Harkin and Richard Gephardt. "Uncommitted" won in 1972, edging out Ed Muskie and George McGovern.After all the thunder, the caucuses don't actually produce a single delegate to either of the two national nominating conventions. That comes later. To retain the aura of excitement, the caucuses keep getting earlier and earlier; last time, the voting was held not in the first week of the new year but late in January. Next time, we can expect them on Christmas Eve.
