Twists the knife.
The dramatic reversal of fortunes has left the media establishment stunned and racing to keep up with fast-moving changes.
In its final poll before Iowa, CNN showed Clinton with a two-point lead over Obama. Editorial decisions were being made based on an understanding the Democratic primary race would be close, explained a network executive.
Update! Prepare to be nauseated: “Clinton Gets Emotional on Campaign Trail”. But the comments are where the real action is.
Croc. tears. Big saltwater croc.
And here’s a prediction;
Because Hillary can never be President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton has no further use for her. The Clinton’s will divorce within 2 years and it will come as a surprise to no one.
If she doesn’t get crushed at the ballot box – and right soon – then there is something very wrong with American voters.
Leaders don’t cry in public. Emotion clouds judgment and public displays of emotion make you lose the confidence of those you intend to lead.
It’s gotta be over.
I liked this comment:
“Hillary has clearly demonstrated that she does NOT have what it takes to be a democratic President. She was in the Whitehouse for 8 years and not once did she have sex with an intern.”
It would probably be more accurate to say that in 8 years she couldn’t find an intern that could get it up for her.
The real tragedy in all of this is how none of the Republican contenders have a hope in hell of becoming president. Unless the Dems do something really stupid (always a possibility), it will take the GOP many years to bounce back.

Marc, maybe you’re right, but I have a hard time believing, at the end of the campaign, that American voters would choose Obama over, say, McCain, or Giuliani. If that really is the case, then Mark Steyn is going to have to re-title his last book to something like “No One Left Standing”
I think the prediction is wrong. re: Bill divorcing Hill. Hill will divorce Bill. I think she put up with his cheating just to get the chance ascend to the throne. When defeated she will have no use for him.
If you go to the Drudge main page, there’s a hilarious video from the Washington Post called “All fired up and ready to bore” which shows a Hillary rally in NH. It’s totally unfair, and totally funny.
[quote]Did anyone see the National Post this morning? On page A11, the left hand side of the page has an article saying Hillary leads Obama by a point, and Romney leads McCain by a point. Then, two columns over on the *same* page, another article trumpets Obama’s 7-pt lead over Hillary, and McCain’s lead over Romney. Two articles on the same page, giving directly contradictory information. I like the Post, but geez – doesn’t anybody proofread or edit anything these days? [/quote]
The poll have always been flagrant but today FOX was running the U of NH (elite) poll that had low Numbers (FOX is staying Neutral)
MSNBC was showing All 4 polls (2ea 8+ & 1ea 13+)
CNN was averaging all polls
The University poll was the one Hillary Fixed
She will lose in the double digits >13
I can’t imagine that McCain will tolerate Obama’s
wishful & naive dreams. Yes Obama will just walk into GM and demand changes. Whoa! Stock Market
Obama gets away with it because its Hillary’s experience that doesn’t measure up, not because her argument is invalid.
Sorry Eskimo – no meat in the Christmas supper! Even Scarbourgh on MSNBC – hardly a left winger – seems to think Obama will carry the day although one more comparision to Bobby Kennedy will be two to many! People are looking for a change and Bush Clinton Bush Clinton is not going to work.Russert made an interesting point this morning – Bill Clinton is revered in California and they will be hard to beat there.
This thread proves blog punditry has a long way to go.
Clinton took New Hampshire.
