No that I wouldn’t be happy with this but it’s clear pollsters put up skewed results just to grab headlines for themselves.

Watch for another ‘surprising’ poll later today.

Boy, anything she does of that nature would be real bare-knuckle stuff. Not that I put that beneath her, but your right, she is probably willing to go down in flames with him this go around.

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD !

The whole verse is even better!

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!

Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.

Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead.

She's gone where the goblins go,

Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.

Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.

Let them know

The Wicked Witch is dead!

Close, but not quite yet. Hillary still hasn’t unleashed the full fury of her Flying Monkeys. The next few days should be very interesting with skeletons flying out of every Obama closet.

Don't forget that Hillary has a very, very powerful force on her side.

She is simply not likeable. I think dem voters were just looking for an excuse, any excuse, to jump off the rickety Hillary bandwagon. Iowa was enough of an excuse.

Would be great to melt this witch, but be wary. This could be just a bit of the lowering expectactions game so that she comes out rosy and alive on Sunday.

Don’t count on her being done until the legs shrivel. So says Rush.

She could very easily come roaring back.

sorry for that messed up last post...my fingers hit the keys crazy fast when I read about her running in 2012. Yipes...I don’t think she would do that, do you??????

#1: Hillary always performs 2 to 6 percent below her polls.

#2. Polls are always 24-72 hours “late.” This is how they felt about her a day or two ago. It could easily be much worse now.

#3. To reverse this she would need to do something very dramatic.... and she has no political arrows left in her quiver.

#4. With her ego she may try to stay alive until Super Tuesday... and even get nominated... and be so very damaged that she is the 2008 Katherine Harris, a very bad political joke.

This is perfectly plausible given the pre-Iowa New Hampshire numbers and the sort of bounce Obama could expect from Thursday.

Never, never underestimate her. Super Tuesday is Feb. 5 with states like California, New York, and New Jersey. It may be able to be done, but Obama has a great deal of work to do in those states to turn it around. Hillary also has a majority of the “Super Delegates.” Many people owe favors to the Clintons for all their fundraising. The Super Delegates make up about 40% of the delegates necessary to get the nomination. Behind the scenes, the Clintons are undoubtedly leaning on, bribing, or threatening those people not to jump ship.

The witch is dead!! Fox News is sooooooooo in the tank for the beast.

Just saw a Fox News reporter report on the fundraiser held in NH last night.

He did not mention that Hillary got booed twice. Shame on Fox for not reporting what happened.


Rupert Murdoch, head of NewsCorp, parent company of FNC, held a fundraiser for Hillary a year or two ago. No doubt FNC is in the tank for Hills

Could it be that FNCs chosen candidates, Rudy and Hillary, may not make it to the conventions?

We better hope he defeats her or she destroys him to win.
I worry about a Clinton/Obama ticket.

I don’t see how we can beat that with the field of wet dreams we have running.

Don’t be too sure, I’m thinking she has some dirty tricks up her sleeve.

Pact with the devil.
