Clinton’s Last Stand? Debate Performance, Pennsylvania Victory May Not Be Enough
FOXNews ^ | 4-16-08 | Staff

Posted on 04/16/2008 3:15:52 PM PDT by kingattax

Hillary Clinton could be facing her campaign’s last gasp Wednesday night as she faces off against her Democratic rival in a marquee televised debate, as new polls and endorsements show more momentum swinging Barack Obama’s way.

The two candidates meet for 90 minutes six days before Pennsylvania voters head to the polls in this must-win state for Clinton.

But new polls cast serious doubt on Clinton’s ability to shore up the support she needs nationally to beat Obama, much less win a clear victory before the August Democratic National Convention.

A new Gallup Daily tracking poll of national Democratic voters shows Obama has posted his widest lead so far over Clinton in the poll. Obama claims 51 percent support to Clinton’s 40 percent in the April 12-14 poll.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows more Democrats are questioning Clinton’s trustworthiness — even after a steadfast push over the weekend to try to paint Obama as an elitist and out of touch with Americans. The poll said a majority of Americans now believe Clinton is dishonest. She trails Obama among Democrats by 23 points on the question of honesty. While 63 percent of Democrats believe she is honest, that is 18 percent less than in 2006.

An Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg News poll shows that while Clinton still leads Obama in Pennsylvania and Indiana, her lead is not sufficient to wrap up the nomination. The poll of likely Democratic voters gives Clinton a 46 percent to 41 percent edge in Pennsylvania, and a similar 40 percent to 35 percent lead for Obama in Indiana. In North Carolina, Obama has a larger, 13- point advantage.

That’s an actual nutcracker. I’ve seen it in a catalog.

I wonder if they will have them standing - the short, stubby Hillary vs the tall, gangly Obama? Or if they will be seated at a little table with tea cups?

Well, since the "majority of Americans" has been electing and re-electing the lovely couple since 1992, something must have changed, she must have been "honest" then and is now "dishonest", right? A magical transformation form honest to dishonest, after all the "majority of Americans" could never be wrong.

Yes, I guessed that the nutcracker was a real product. Any other interesting and/or amusing items in that catalog?

Moderators serve the Democratic contenders softballs—and the contenders return horseballs. Such is the alchemy of the Left.

Charlie Gibson did nail Obama cold (Gibson would not back off - referencing “every cut in capital gains taxes has been followed by increasing revenues - not decreased revenues -”) on capital gains at 28% from Bush’s 15% - Hillary said 20% tops - Slick Willie’s lowest rate was 23%

(DISCLAIMER: I could be off on %ages but I believe I have it correct)

Hillary and Obama also were put solidly on pulling out of Iraq “No matter what happens...”

That contradicts both of them previously saying “a small security force will remain in Iraq!”

potlatch has her great “Hillary-PantsOnFire.gif”

I saw some big liberal media outfits rating “Pants On Fire” for Hillary’s “Bosnia Sniper Adventure” -
