Stunning Poll
A short time ago, I posted about word coming from the Clinton campaign that insiders were very worried about Hillary losing in New Hampshire. I mentioned that their internal polling must be hideous, indeed. Apparently, hideous isn't nearly a strong enough word. Disastrous would be more apt, according to USA Today:
Sen. Barack Obama has opened up a 13 percentage point lead over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the battle for votes in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll conducted in the state from Friday through this afternoon. The results were just released.
On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain is 4 percentage points ahead of Mitt Romney.
The surveys of 776 New Hampshire residents who are "likely" to vote in the Republican primary and 778 New Hampshire residents who are "likely" to vote in the Democratic primary were all completed after the news from Thursday's Iowa caucuses had been reported.
Obama is at 41% to Clinton's 28%. She's in trouble. The Clinton campaign juggernaut is careening down the ditch throwing slushy rooster tails into the cold New Hampshire air.
UPDATE: And why Mark Penn should have his resume out: Where is the bounce? That would be the thing ricocheting over your head, Mark.

I think I said this before, if your constituency is a fickle group , they may up and go in a flash.

If Obama manages to rid our political system of the Clintons, it is a greater service than anything he his likely to do as President.

We need her to grab onto Obama as she goes under and take him with her. C’mon Hillary, where is all that negativity Slick Willie was threatening Obama with a few days ago! Dish it out! Let’s see what you got!
