Clinton Looking Even Better To N.H. Voters
How long can the good news continue?
On Tuesday, a new poll of New Hampshire Democrats found most believe Sen. Hillary Clinton is best poised to beat a Republican in the 2008 election - by a larger margin than in the last poll. Some 54 percent said they thought she "has the best chance of beating the Republican nominee," according to the survey by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center for CNN and WMUR. That was up from 37 percent who felt that way in June of this year.
Overall, Clinton came in first place in the poll, with support from 43 percent of the Democratic primary voters surveyed, compared with 20 percent who chose Sen. Barack Obama and 12 percent who picked former Sen. John Edwards. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson came in at 6 percent, with Sen. Joe Biden and Rep. Dennis Kucinich tied at 3 percent and Sen. Chris Dodd at 1 percent.
The Clinton campaign, not surprisingly, blasted out the news to reporters and posted it on its in-house news aggregator, www.hillaryhub.com.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for Whitewater, Billing-gate, Cattlegate, Castle Grande, Travelgate, Filegate, Golfgate, Indonesiagate, Paula Jones, William Kennedy, Craig Livingstone, Jim and Susan McDougal, Dick Morris, Bernard Nussbaum, Vince Foster, Hazel O'Leary, the Pardons, Harold Ickes, Webster Hubbell, Billy Dale, Monica, Jennifer, Paula, and of course let us not forget the only First Lady to be subpoenaed...
She's going to finish dead last.

Another snide report from the simpering, dishonest Anne Kornblut. She needs to get a new candidate to cover because her snotty, sarcastic swipes at Clinton are increasingly insulting to the readers of the Post and the campaign. Watching her on Hardball with Chris Matthews on Monday , it was obvious both of them loathe Clinton and make no attempt to hide it. This is offensive and unprofessional and Kornblut should be reassigned .

"How long can the good news continue?"
"The Clinton campaign, not surprisingly, blasted out the news..."
We're gettin' a little, "prickly", aren't we?
Which campaigns have been holding back good news? Do the other campaigns simply trumpet or tout, as opposed to blasting their good news? Pretty petty and silly imo.
What's with the sub-head?
The good news can continue into January, 2016, if that answers your question.

follow the link to the poll. it shows clearly that this is voters initial reaction, and that at least 55% of the respondants in this poll have decided, yet. it's irresponsible to pigeon hole the NH voters into supporting 1 candidate over another.
Obama 08!
