Obama Soars In New NH Poll; Was Tied With Clinton Yesterday

CNN:

With two days to go until the New Hampshire primary, a new CNN/WMUR poll out Sunday afternoon suggests that Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois has opened up a double digit advantage over New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the survey, conducted by the University of New Hampshire on Saturday and early Sunday, 39 percent of likely Granite State Democratic primary voters back Obama as the party's nominee -- that's ten points ahead of Clinton's 29 percent. Obama is up six points and Clinton down four points from our survey conducted on Friday and early Saturday.

Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina is at 16 percent in the new survey, down four points from Saturday. Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico is in fourth place, with the support of 7 percent of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters, with Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio at 2 percent.

Not following the logic that the Republicans want Obama to win because he's easy to beat. Comments must be from folks who were too young to remember the '90s, when the Clinton reign galvanized Republicans in unprecedented ways (see 94 mid-terms). Odd as it is, their deep hatred of all things Clinton (esp. Hillary) is the jumper cable that will start, focus, and sustain them back into the White House. They've been waiting for Clinton, with knives and fangs and buckets of drool, for years. Drudge has had anti-Hillary teasers on his site since she won the senate in 2000. Obama is a problem to them because he ruins the ending of the movie. And it'll take them much longer to build up their hatred base and database around BO. The anti-Hillary base is already primed and ready to kick into gear.

Air-force One is landing in a nation that in the past hasn't been so friendly with america or Americans and the first one stepping off the plane is the President of these United States of America! A Black Man showing the world that Americans have become Progreesive in the way they think about others at home and in the world.For me it's history being made but it also made me see that all white folks aren't racist and that i as a Black Man the chip must be removed from my shoulder.

No one is more delighted with the progress of our movement, but gloating is anathema to the theme of this campaign. I ask that those who purport to embrace the change that Senator Obama speaks of remember that it means changing the way we talk to one another and coming together for the common purpose of making our nation stronger through unity.

Wonder which candidate gets the most support from the Worshipers of unearned riches. (Its golden rule the belief that is is possible to get something for nothing.)
