From Politicalwire:
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s lead in the New Hampshire presidential primary race has fallen to its lowest level of the season, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey. Hillary Clinton leads with 34% support, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 24%, John Edwards at 15%, and Gov. Bill Richardson at 8%.The poll shows Clinton dropping six points since her poor performance in the last Democratic debate.
New Iowa Poll shows the same result:
Clinton 28% (-2)
Obama 25% (+3)
Edwards 21% (-2)
Richardson 9% (-1)
Biden 3
Dodd 1
Not sure 12
Also check this out where former President Bill Clinton is claiming the treatment of Hillary at the debate and afterward is like the swiftboat of John Kerry and Max Cleland. Obama seems to be hitting a stride and I, like a friend said to me recently, "I am not ready to right off Obama." I am threw with the Clintons, however and this chicken shit politics that seeks only to see what the polls say and not (protest a nominee that seems to be sanctioning torture) do the right thing is over. The democratic base does not want this, never mind the rest of the country.
Yes, the Clintons are better than we have right now, but they aren't even close to what we can have. And I am not talking about the likes of Ron Paul, who for a Republican is nice to see, but he is still one of the Rethuglicans who would seek to have the free market decide everything, i.e. "privatize" which is exactly where we are now. No thanks. Bring on Obama or Edwards (Kucinich is obviously a dream) and I will for once be excited about a nominee.
