Clinton and Sanders Woo Democrats at Iowa Dinner

Mrs. Clinton criticized Gov. Scott Walker, Senator Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush by name for their records on unions, college education and abortion. “I’m so tired of Republicans shaming and blaming women,” she said, delighting the crowd of likeminded Democrats.

...

Next up: Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont whose liberal message is gaining traction in Iowa and New Hampshire. Mr. Sanders took aim at corporate greed, Wall Street and the media. He also touted the thousands of supporters who have attended his rallies.

...

By the time Mr. O’Malley took the stage here on Friday, after Mr. Sanders’s liberal roar, he had to concede he is “not the only candidate for President who holds progressive values.”

...

As far as words go, Lincoln Chafee, the former mayor, senator and governor from Rhode Island, had some choice ones for Mr. Bush and his recent comments about the Iraq War.

Much more at link.

Also, Chafee said, "“What kind of neocon Kool-Aid is this man drinking?” Too funny.
