New Hampshire: the Democrats

Ben Smith of the Politico argues that Senator Clinton is once again "recalibrating" her strategy, following her Iowa loss.

But I don't think so. Yes, she will go negative. What else is new? Her campaign began heading down that road towards the end of the race in Iowa. And she's pounding away again at Barack Obama's supposed inexperience. That's the same argument she made in Iowa. Didn't work too well there.

Prediction: if she loses in New Hampshire (and she well might), she's done.
Running on the principle of being a fairly traditional moderate-liberal Rooseveltian Democrat, and touting experience, might not be nearly enough in this day and age.
