Hillary Breaks Away From The Pack In Iowa?

The Whistler • December 25, 2007

It would seem that way. The same poll that showed her essentially neck-and-neck with Obama last week now has her with a double digit lead.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A stunning new Iowa poll seems to show the New York senator with an apparent double-digit lead over her nearest rival among likely Democratic caucus goers, with voting just over a week away.
Iowa polling is notoriously difficult because of the unpredictable nature of caucus voting. Still, the Clinton campaign is still sure to view these results as an early Christmas gift: she and Barack Obama were neck-and-neck in last week’s American Research Group poll. In the new survey, conducted December 20-23, she leads the Illinois senator by 15 percentage points, 34 to 19 percent. Obama is now in a statistical tie for second place with John Edwards, who has 20 percent of the vote.

A swing this large sort of makes you wonder about the veracity of polling in Iowa. Regardless, I’m still holding out hope that Hillary gets the nomination. Because I actually think that Barack Obama would be fairly tough to beat. Even Edwards, the smooth and good-looking populist, seems more electable than Hillary what with all the baggage her candidacy brings along for the ride.
Nominating Hillary gives Republicans their best chance to win the general election.

With Hillary saying things like “Oil prices will come down just because I am elected”, I almost pray she wins the nomination.

Anyway, at this point, Iowa Polls are just plain useless:

1. Iowans are getting 20 calls a day and most aren’t even picking up their phones.
2. 5% of Iowans will actually caucus at all.

Just let em vote and get it over with.

I think the logic is that if Hillary gets the nomination the dems will get creamed in the polls.

I don’t believe she was really ever behind in the polls, this is all a stage play, she is now like Billy Jeff the comeback kid for turning things around in Iowa.

I’m still holding out hope that Hillary gets the nomination. Because I actually think that Barack Obama would be fairly tough to beat.

I have been saying that for a long time, Hillary can be beaten, but you get a black Messiah winning early primaries and he can get the nomination and the White House completely based on the myth he is a Savior of America.
