Hillary Clinton Draws Boos at Iowa Campaign Event, 1 Day After Hostage Situation

Folks this thing is getting murkier by the minute on both the Democrat AND the Republican side. Clinton's shoe in has suddenly become not such a given as has Rooties. All bets are off; I've got a gut feeling the entire race could break wide open. Watch the polls over the next couple of weeks, this could get very interesting and a bit scary.

Hillary Clinton speaks via satellite during the Heartland Presidential Forum Saturday.

Whatever public sympathy Hillary Clinton had built up during the tense hostage situation at her New Hampshire campaign office appeared to dissipate Saturday, as she was met with a round of boos during an address over the phone to an Iowa political event.

At the Heartland Presidential Candidates Forum in Des Moines, community activists lustily booed the Democratic frontrunner after she declined to commit to passing comprehensive immigration reform in her first 100 days in office.

Clinton said reform would be a "high priority" for her, but that didn't satisfy a crowd looking for legislation that would move illegal immigrants swiftly on a path to legalization.
