Lead in doubt, Clinton knocks on N.Hampshire doors

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton went door-to-door in freezing New Hampshire on Saturday, asking for support in the early voting state where her once-huge lead in the Democratic presidential primary race has melted away.
The New York senator knocked on doors along a snow-covered block of Manchester, less than a month before the crucial January 8 New Hampshire primary, the second binding contest of the 2008 presidential campaign.
"I'd be honored to have your support," Clinton said on the front porch of Mike Glickstein, a Manchester resident.
Glickstein, a 38-year-old maintenance worker whose beagle howled incessantly as he spoke to the former first lady, said he had intended to vote for Clinton already.
"I like her support of the middle class, I like her husband a lot," Glickstein said, referring to former President Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton has seen her lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, her main rival for the Democratic nomination, evaporate both in New Hampshire and Iowa, which on January 3 kicks off the state-by-state contests to choose the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees.
Two polls this week showed Clinton and Obama in a statistical dead heat in New Hampshire, each with the support of about 30 percent of voters. In September, Clinton had led Obama by 20 points.
PERSONAL CAMPAIGNING KEY
In a subsequent speech to voters in Plaistow, New Hampshire, Clinton said the state would be important to her efforts to secure her party's nomination.
"I'm counting on you for this primary election," she said. "It's a decision that I know you take very seriously. That's why you attend events like this, that's why you open your doors to us when we come knocking."
Clinton said that if elected she would work to find a way of providing universal health care to U.S. citizens, a fight she faced before as First Lady when her husband was president. She also said she would do away with the controversial education program No Child Left Behind and that if elected she would call on the leaders of the top emitters of greenhouse gases to meet every three months to agree on a solution to cut back their emissions.
Lou D'Allesandro, a New Hampshire state senator who accompanied Clinton as she knocked on about 10 doors, said personal campaigning was critical in his state.
"Politics is connecting with people, and this is how you do it here. I'd like to see her here more," he said.
Clinton's advisers once saw New Hampshire as a "firewall," which could protect her if she did poorly in Iowa, said University of New Hampshire political scientist Dante Scala.
"The firewall has largely disappeared now," he said. "If she loses both ... it would be very difficult to recover."
After New Hampshire, the next big contest is in South Carolina, where the large black population could flock to Obama, a fellow African American, Scala said.
"She's very intelligent, she has a lot of charisma. I wish she would talk more about women, because I think that would be helpful," said Herb Meyer, a 50-year-old physician from Danville, New Hampshire, who turned out to see Clinton in Plaistow.
"She's got a lot of presence, Barack Obama has a lot of presence," Meyer said, adding that he wasn't yet sure for whom he would vote.

She sure makes me howling...mad!
Looks like she’s running for precinct captain not president. Knocking on doors???
Did she drag her mom and daughter with her??

This is great stuff. Hopefully Hitlery will go down in flames in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina. I hope she wins Nevada: it’ll cement her more to that dingleberry Reid.
Hussein Obama isn’t a prize, and it’ll be great entertainment watching Howard Dean writhe under the new leader...those two big heads will clash big time.
Oh yeah, and it’ll be even funnier watching the old coots in the Democrat party start singing Hussein’s praises: Kennedy, Kerry, Biden, Byrd....they’ll all secretly be thinking “Who is this young upstart?” But they WON’T BE ABLE TO SAY IT!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Hillary’s closest Hollywood pals fail to donate to her campaign.
July 18, 2007
Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has been pocketing plenty of campaign cash from the entertainment industry, but some of her closest Hollywood friends haven’t been coming through as much as she might have hoped.
Actress Mary Steenburgen is so close to the former first lady that she introduced Hillary at a March fundraiser at billionaire Ron Burkle’s Beverly Hills estate. But while Steenburgen did give Clinton a $4,600 donation a few days after the event, two weeks later she sent a $2,300 check to the campaign of Hillary’s rival, John Edwards, Fox News reports.
Steenburgen’s husband Ted Danson, who is also a close Clinton pal, hasn’t given anything to her campaign.
Another Clinton friend, Barbra Streisand, has donated $2,300 to Edwards and Barack Obama as well as to pal Hillary.
And Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, the “Designing Women” producers who were close to the Clintons, haven’t forked over a cent to Hillary’s campaign.
If you missed the Christmas song -— I SAW HUMA KISSING HILLARY.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1932627/posts
Ignorance is the biggest cost in this country. 10 brain challenged people in 10 knocks.
Well, not surprisingly, this adventure inspired a song -— FROSTY THE SNOWMAN. It will be up and running soon.
Looks like they stopped shoveling right where she is standing. Completely staged and Planted.

Guess it rubbed off on her. Home is where the heart is.

“Typically, she assumed she was the heir apparent. Ugly surprise, eh Hill? “
Irony is- she trusted billdultery when he told her he’s gonna make her President one day....She still doesn’t realize that NO ONE outside their intimidated circle trusts him or her.

Travelgate was over long before the Wise death. Wonder what happened to that close friendship? The Thomason's even helped in Bill's run for Govenor of Arkansas so was a long time friendship.
I appreciate the information.
May I suggest, Rode hard and put away wet...
She may be down 10 points in the polls but she's put on at lleast 10 years.
A purported friend of Wise contacted me sometime after her death. He claimed that there was nothing nefarious. She was very ill.
I like that. She drops a point, she ages a year.
