Clinton ahead in US Democratic race
Herald Sun ^ | 22 January 2007

SENATOR Hillary Clinton holds a large early lead over other top candidates in the race for the Democratic US presidential nomination, according to a national poll reported today in The Washington Post.

New York's Senator Clinton was the favorite of 41 per cent of Democrats polled, more than double the 17 per cent, second-place rating scored by Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the Post said.

Former Senator John Edwards, the 2004 vice presidential nominee, placed third at 11 per cent, with former Vice President Al Gore at 10 per cent. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the 2004 presidential nominee, came in at eight per cent.

The poll was taken before Senator Clinton announced her candidacy yesterday. Senator Obama entered the race on Wednesday and Mr Edwards jumped in last month.

The Post said in hypothetical general election matchups of Senator Clinton and top Republican candidates, the former first lady "narrowly leads Arizona Senator John McCain and is running about even with former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani".

All this hand-waving is irrelevant. Al Gore will step in and blow all of them away instantly.

There was a time in America when we could laugh at such a statement but since the dark times that we call the Clinton era, it has taken on new meaning....

Uh oh... this is NOT going as planned for the DBM! Hillary! was supposed to SURGE! past Obama. She is not going to be able to do a SURGE! if she is already SURGE!ed from the Git-go.

On the other hand, this is a perfect opportunity for Obama now to pull his own SURGE!

Osama Hussein should start polling better among the RATs now that the story broke about his school daze at the local wahabbi madrassah in Indonesia. If there's one thing Democrats like it's haters of America. They may seen in Osama Obama a mirror image.

Remind everyone of Hillary's involvement with the Million Mom March fundraising scandal (use of tax-exempt money to support Al Gore's campaign)

http://www.stentorian.com/2ndamend/mmm/form990.html Discrepencies (to say the least) between what the Million Mom March told the IRS and what it actually did.
