An Iowa Voter: ‘Is Hillary Clinton not open to voters’ questions?’

October 19, 2007

Questions about Hillary abound in Iowa:

I recently read on the New York Times Web site that Hillary Clinton no longer takes questions from Iowa caucus-goers.

The reporter said it's because she wants to protect her front-runner status. After the recent debacle with a man in New Hampton, I can understand why she's doing that.

When asked a tough, but valid question about Iran, she dodged the question and accused the man of being sent by another campaign. Is this really the kind of behavior we want in our next president: evasive, combative, arrogant? It sounds like George Bush all over again.

Here in Iowa, it's not the millions of dollars and bandwagon slogans that matter. We want to know where the candidates stand on the issues. If Clinton can't answer a simple question about a very important Senate vote, she is going to have bigger problems on her hands come January.

I'm going to caucus for a candidate who can defend his positions on the issues and is capable of communicating with caucus-goers. That won't be Clinton.
