No wonder Hillary's attacking. A new USA Today Gallup poll puts Hillary and Obama at 32 - 32. There's some interesting things on the Republican side in the internals, too. Mitt's up 34 - 27 over McCain with Rudy at 11. But Giuliani rates highest in terms of being a second choice.
Only about fifty-percent of those surveyed have made up their mind and Romney has a big lead in terms of the ability to win in the Fall.
Also on Hillary, a veteran NH pol / supporter has ripped her campaign. It's a wonder anyone around her still has their head. I wonder if those silly gifts in her ad will be the only ones she attempts to give out this year. If her new attack web sites get the same negative feedback as her previous attacks, as far as Iowa and New Hampshire, Hillary just might go down in flames.
A veteran New Hampshire Democratic lawmaker who supports Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says her campaign has "no clear message," a criticism that is buzzing through party ranks at a time when some polls show her statistically tied with Sen. Barack Obama in the first primary state.
When George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton, many felt it was because he was George H.W. Bush; and doggone it, people just didn't like George H.W. Bush. Never mind that H. Ross Perot pulled off 20 million of H.W.'s would-be voters, because, it seems H. Ross didn't much care for H.W. either. Simply put, Bill Clinton didn't inherit the White House because he was that good. It was more a squabble between two billionaires. In 1996, Clinton stayed in office, because the Republicans failed to present a real challenge.
Barack Obama won't win because he's that good (although he may be). Again, Hillary Clinton will lose because she's Hillary Clinton - and doggone it. But there's more. Anyone who screws up long enough and hard enough can do some damage. Case in point, Hillary's “world-class institute of teaching and learning.” Founded by the Clintons in 1995, both "geniuses" have changed "other peoples" lives: http://theseedsof9-11.com
