A just-released poll by WMUR and CNN shows Hillary Clinton’s lead over Barack Obama in New Hampshire has vanished. They are in a statistical dead heat, with Clinton’s support at 31% and Obama’s at 30%.

Since November, her support has dropped by 5 percentage points, while his has risen by 8 percentage points.

    Anyone.. (well almost anyone) that can command a lead over the scariest women in politics has my thanks… maybe not my vote.. but my heartfelt thanks! I think 8 years of Clinton Politics was more than enough socialism.

    ahh yes but the game is still in it’s early stages.. she has plenty of time to show her true self. And those with thinking minds that actually use them will not be swayed by fluff..oh did I put the word fluff and Hillary in the same thought..Fluff is not a word I’d use for Hillary.. perhaps.. pencil shavings.
    She is not who she wants the populace to think she is.. why do you think she has to use Bill to deflect it.
