The new CNN poll of New Hampshire shows that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a dead heat. Hillary has 31% support to Obama's 30%, a statistically insignificant lead, with John Edwards in third at 17%. In the last CNN poll three weeks ago, Hillary was way ahead of Obama, 36%-22%.
The bottom line: If the Hillary campaign was looking to use New Hampshire as a firewall against a possible loss in Iowa, that doesn't look like it's much of an option at the moment.
On the Republican side, Mitt Romney is still the heavy favorite with 32% support, with Rudy Giuliani and John McCain tied at 19% each. Mike Huckabee, who is surging in GOP primaries around the country, has failed to catch on here so far — he has only 9%.
Fred got 1% in this poll.
Hillary is fading. Isn’t that a shame.
I don’t expect Governor Gomer to catch the front runners on the GOP side.
Hopefully the Granite State can see through the Huckster. Seems to me “The Music Man” was set in Iowa for good reason.
I think we can all agree that when New Hampshire threatened to move their primary to yesterday, they became pretty close to irrelevant. (Of course... the MSM has failed to notice.)
You can bet whomever New Hampshire votes for will be the Republican version of John Kerry. It matters little to the vast masses that are America.
There was a caller to Rush several days ago and the caller was a Representative in the New Hampshire House. He said anyone from out of state can come in and vote there as long as they make a declaration they will be moving to New Hampshire. I expect Hillary’s campaign is busy right now commandeering every bus and van they can lay their hands on to bus in voters from neighboring states. And it’s perfectly legal!
