CNN’s Zeleny: Hillary Campaign Lowering Iowa Expectations ‘Mightily’

ZELENY: “The big first rally of the Clinton campaign is coming next weekend, Saturday, then she's immediately going to Iowa. The Clinton campaign has been trying to lower expectations mightily for Iowa. They said no sitting president or vice president -- no one other than a sitting president or vice president has gotten over 50 percent. Well Al Gore got 63 percent back in 2000. I think Hillary Clinton pretty much equates to Al Gore in terms of name recognition other things. But they say she will get under 50 percent, no way she can cross that barrier. So I'm struck by how they are already lowering expectations perhaps because Bernie Sanders is attracting some attention there early on. We will see how she does.”
