How will Clinton do when she has to start meeting real voters again in Iowa and New Hampshire?

Eyebrows were raised when it was announced that Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, and not Clinton, will headline a May 3 state party dinner in Manchester, N.H. Why isn’t Clinton showing up?

She often looks weakest when she gets out on the campaign trail and starts to looks like a typical politician.

And some of her worst moments come when she botches interviews, like she did on her book tour when she told an interviewer she and her husband were “dead broke” after the Clinton presidency.

Also, what will the rationale for her candidacy be? Many Democrats think it’s time for a female president, but the rest of the answer to the rationale question isn’t exactly obvious yet.
