Clinton Hopes NH Foundation Will Hold

Posted Dec 16, 07 11:41 AM CST in US,  Politics 

(Newser) – As Barack Obama draws into a tie with Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire polls, the New York senator looks to be leaning more and more on the relationships she and her husband established back in Bill's campaigning days. Clinton officials shrug off the tightening polls, but some find her camp's lack of energy "scary," reports the Washington Post.

While some feel that Clinton's familiarity within New Hampshire will inspire people to be "more engaged, and more willing to step up," others think she may be banking on support that is no longer there. One former Clinton campaigner opines that Bill and Hillary "might as well not even be related," and says he'll be pushing for Christopher Dodd.

    How She Came Undone Bill Clinton’s interfering tenacity and squabbling aides killed Hillary Clinton’s chances to win the White House, the New York Times eulogizes in an obituary of the campaign that once seemed indestructible. “Hers was the campaign of destiny, a back-to-the-future effort to restore the Democratic dynasty of the 1990s that could never quite escape the last decade,” write Peter Baker and Jim Rutenberg.

"Mark down May 7," he suggests. "That's the date by which Clinton should be one of two things: a, the possible nominee after all; or, b, out of the race." More »

    Clinton-Obama Race Ups Stakes for Secret Service The race for the Democratic nomination is confounding an unlikely group—the Secret Service, which started covering Barack Obama earlier than any previous candidate and has protected Hillary Clinton since Bill's nomination in 1992.
