That should help her in the Dem national primary.

NBC is so in Hillary’s pocket, it uses lint for a pillow.

The fact that Sanders is polling above 1% just proves how desperate that the Democrats are to vote for anyone other than Hillary.

I still say Hillary will drop out because of “health reasons” and Biden will come in to save the day.

I was going to post a "Nothing But Clinton" comment, but that's not true.

NBC's for whatever the Dem's preferred, no, make that pre-chosen "candidate" is.

Biden?! But thinking about it, he's been in the bag forever, and might able to respond robotically to the powers that be with manageable embarrassment.

And throw in a VP Fauxcohontas in the on-deck circle.

Yeah, Biden for at least one term before his next-to-the-last brain cell gives up the ghost.

National polls are almost meaningless as they will be heavily influenced by performance in the early primaries. I seem to recall that Guliani was leading in national polls in 2008) but his campaign went absolutely nowhere.

“I still say Hillary will drop out because of “health reasons” and Biden will come in to save the day.”

So there may really be a chance for a real “Third Obama Term?” Biden is a couple of Ding Dong’s short of a Ho Ho!

Underestimate Biden at your peril, he wiped the floor with Ryan during their VP debate.

“...he wiped the floor with Ryan during their VP debate.”

Consider his target! Paul Ryan shouldn’t even be a Congressman, let alone Speaker. Both Trump and Cruz would leave old Slow Joe’s jockstrap torn and bloody!

Clinton also surveyed way ahead of Obama before primaries in the past. Many of the aging media folks are in the tank for Hillary.

Sanders is this years’ version of “Howard Dean.”

I think Hillary is this year’s version of Howard Dean. Sanders is this year’s version of Lyndon Larouche.

The problem is that this year those are the only candidates that the Democrats have to choose from.

Why do people here keep making this wrong point?

Giuliani never led any national polls in 2008, only early 2007, before any debates and before the field was established.

That is extremely different from now, when we’re just a couple of weeks away from the first votes being cast.
