In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Obama is edging up on Hillary in Pennsylvania.
In this latest survey, one of the biggest shifts is among women who went from 54 – 37 percent for Clinton April 2 to 54 – 41 percent for her today. A look at other groups shows:
* White voters for Clinton 56 – 38 percent, down from 59 – 34 percent last week.
* Black voters back Obama 75 – 17 percent, compared to 73 – 11 percent.
* Men are for Obama 48 – 44 percent, compared to a 46 – 46 percent tie last week.
* Voters under 45 go with Obama 55 – 40, while older voters back Clinton 55 – 38 percent.
“With two weeks to go, Sen. Barack Obama is knocking on the door of a major political upset in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Obama is not only building on his own constituencies, but is taking away voters in Sen. Hillary Clinton’s strongest areas – whites including white women, voters in the key swing Philadelphia suburbs and those who say the economy is the most important issue in the campaign,” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
I wonder what the Clinton campaign will say once they pull a Memphis and blow the lead in the final two minutes? At this point it is truly flummoxing that Hillary Clinton is staying in the race. Even with the pundits blowing a hard wind at her back, the possibility of her actually winning the election will only serve to sunder the Democratic Party and hand the election to Senator McSame.
Not to mention the fact that the Clinton campaign is a comedy of errors, and if the old adage holds true that the administration will be run like the campaign, I don’t think anyone really wants to sit around and watch that unfold.
“The dramatic reduction in violence has opened the way for a return to something approaching normal political and economic life for the average Iraqi,” McCain said.
Hillary Clinton is at it again, this time making stuff up about health care. You know what this reminds me of? The current administration. Who’s to say she wouldn’t lie us into a war just like George W. Bush? I mean, she can’t even keep her campaign straight.
Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.
The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.
“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.
How does Hillary expect superdelegates to believe her if she makes up little lies like this to burnish her image? She’s not as bad as Dubya, but it sure comes off like she’s trying. Pathetic.
It looks like Hillary Clinton has really stepped up the hypocrisy to new ridiculous levels. She was against campaigns dealing with foreign governments before she was for it. Here’s what The Jed Report had to say:
For the past month, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly attacked Barack Obama because one of his economic advisers met with Canadian officials in Chicago to discuss NAFTA. Now the Wall Street Journal reports that her own chief campaign strategist did the very same thing on a new free-trade agreement with Colombia.
“Hillary Clinton’s chief campaign strategist met with Colombia’s ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes.”
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe revealed his worry about the US presidential contest this week to the Bogotá daily El Tiempo: “I deplore that Senator Obama, aspiring to be president of the US, ignores Colombia’s efforts.”
This is the same President Uribe who just happens to be a client of Clinton Campaign Chief Strategist Mark Penn.
You can’t make this stuff up, it just gets delivered on a silver platter.
