A case for history repeating itself
The AJC's Political Insider writes:
In early 1992, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton couldn’t find a victory in Iowa or New Hampshire.
Fortunately, his political advisor was James Carville, who had seen Zell Miller into the Georgia governor’s office two years earlier. The state’s primary was conveniently moved a week ahead of Super Tuesday.
Bill Clinton won Georgia, then claimed frontrunner status the next week as “the comeback kid.”
If Hillary Clinton performs poorly in New Hampshire next week, Georgia — not South Carolina — could become the place where a Clinton again must rescue herself.
