NH Voters Like What They See of Clinton

Posted Jun 12, 07 7:48 AM CDT in US,  Politics 

(Newser) – In the race for New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton has shot ahead of her Democratic opponents, opening a 14-point lead over Barack Obama since the June 3 debate. With the primary 7 months away, Clinton is overwhelmingly considered the strongest leader, thumping a list of rivals that includes Al Gore. And there's a new name on the radar: Bill Richardson.

Clinton dominates in the CNN/WMUR poll released yesterday even though she’s ranked third in likability. Meanwhile, John Edwards is falling off sharply, perhaps because of rhetorical attacks on his rivals, CNN says. The man who used to be the next vice president is dead even with Richardson, who may hope only to be the next vice president.

Their complaints of sexism in the campaign are misdirected—"there is no easy way these folks can vent their anger at Chris Matthews. So they are taking their revenge on people without health care, women who need abortions, and others who they (if they supported Hillary) must think will be harmed by a Republican victory in the fall. That'll show 'em."  More »

    How to Get His Groove Back After a nasty campaign, Bill Clinton has a serious image problem. But if he moves quickly, he can escape any long-term damage, reports Politico, which surveys experts in the field for advice on his behalf. “He needs to put this story behind him by Labor Day,” said one, and he should start by offering his sincere support to Obama.
