Hillary’s Iowa Strategy
3 comments October 4th, 2007
While Hillary Clinton’s two main Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, devoted significant time to campaigning in Iowa, Senator Clinton focused on building up her campaign infrastructure to ensure she would win a lion’s share of the delegates up for grabs on what is being dubbed “Tsunami Tuesday.” On that day, February 5, 2008, the Democratic nomination will be decided. Hillaryland has played its cards well, and is poised to score a decisive triumph. It is now time for Hillary Clinton to shift gears, and focus on Iowa.
The Clinton political machine knows that if Hillary is victorious in Iowa, her opposition will be crushed, prostrated and laid impotent. In other words, vanquishing Obama and Edwards in Iowa means that Hillary Clinton has won the nomination, and her opponents can be expected to drop out of the race, surrendering to the inevitable.
At present, Iowa is the only state that is competitive, according to the polling data. To maximize her chances of winning, Hillary must accomplish two things. The first, already done, was to reorganize her campaign infrastructure. The next step, about to begin, will feature both Hillary and Bill Clinton flooding Iowa and its media markets with celebrity power and presence. The sweeping plains of Iowa will be saturated with Clintonian power in the weeks leading up the caucus. In addition, behind the scenes, intense politicking and organizational work will be undertaken. This behind-the-scenes maneuvering is something both Clintons are masters at. The object in Iowa will be to create a bandwagon effect, conjuring up the image that those who vote for Obama or Edwards are lining up with losers. In essence, Hillary Clinton will rely on a herd psychology to stampede her way to the victor’s circle in the first electoral contest of the 2008 presidential campaign.
