Steve Hayes's recent reporting from Iowa confirms a suspicion I've long held. I've thought that as Obama rises in Iowa, Hillary would lose it, go on the attack, and fall right into Obama's spider web. It appears to be happening. Obama's (smart) bet is that in this election people want to change the style of politics, not just the faces in Washington. Hillary kicking and scratching away at Obama a la Rosa Klebb is exactly the Old School Hillary voters don't want.
Obama knows this. He wants Clinton to attack and become the old-politics foil he needs. While Clinton flails away and sinks further in the quicksand of a change election, Obama will tisk-tisk her and continue delivering his sermons. This new fear-driven attack strategy by Das Hillary Apparat is proof that the moment I've been suspecting would come is finally here: The S.S. "Inevitable" Hillary has hit a very large iceberg.
