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.

something tells me she is going to unload on him tonight.

Don’t know why she wouldn’t. He is ripe for the picking at the moment.

Tell me about it. I am even beginning to think that Bill did inhale and he did have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

What makes this fiasco of dangerous proportions so amusing is that there have never been two such TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE LOSERS fighting to win something..../s

I'm not sure 'believe' would be the right word...

Poor woman...........

She's not sure if she should kill, cry, stand by her.....self, bake cookies, duck & cover, take a fag out for a drink, pretend to be assaulted at the debate podium, crash a plane, or wear a chicken suit.

Tonite should be sweet!

Well, it is hard for a liar to call him a liar, hard for a socialist to call him a socialist, hard for an anti-American to call him anti-American, hard for a elitist to call him an elitist, hard for an anti-miltary leftist to call him an anti-miltary leftist.....etc.

What can she really say without getting laughed at? .... :-)

That's one more reason why the members of that party are called Dummycrats here!

Operation Chaos be damned! It is time to write the final chapter of the House of Clinton.

Once that happens, donations will dry up to the Clinton Library. Hillary will be permanently relegated to a permanent role as the Junior Senator from New York.

She'll be able to use earmarks to bring in some pork for Bill's buddies, but that's about it. The big bucks were banking on at least 4 more years of "Clinton White House - The Sequel".

McCain better be ready, because the nanosecond the Dem nominee is confirmed, the MSM is going to turn their artillery on him until November.

She’ll be in full eyeball roll mode. Once Obama leans in her direction, she’ll duck and cover, amplifying “the tall black guy just assaulted me”. If he takes a piece of paper to her it’s all over. She’ll be shaking over the trauma. That is until 3:00AM when her phone rings and she becomes Wonderwoman.

Does anyone really care about a debate between two lefties? I can sympathize with Democrat primary voters who might be ticked off because they have no other options but these two losers. It’s time for that small subgroup of Dems to leave the party.
