Hillary has no problem going into the lion’s den. She’s got ovaries!
Clintonista: She isn’t on her game, she owns the game
First Read: Down the ballot: Dems in good shape
Democrats hold a 15-point advantage (49%-34%) over Republicans in a generic congressional ballot test.
Gallup Poll: Clinton leads among income under 5,000 a month, no college education, Democrats, 65 years and older, Hispanics, South, women, East, Catholics, attend church seldom/never, unmarried and 18-29 years. Obama leads among Independents, income over 7,500 a month and blacks.
MyDD: Gallup confirms the Obama slide
Clinton leads Obama by 4%, 49-44%. The latest general election results show Obama now trailing McCain by a statistically significant 47% to 43% margin among registered voters. Clinton and McCain are now tied in the general election at 46%.
What seems most noticeable about the polling is that Obama didn’t start tanking until after he ‘denounced’ Wright. Why is that?
Because it makes him look disloyal and like a liar.
Melissa out in the field:
Now, Clinton spent over an hour talking about and answering questions about policy in amazing detail—and, throughout, she spoke the language of the labor movement specifically and progressives generally; there was no rightwing framing, no triangulation. She was impressively blunt about the Republicans playing class warfare and about her determination to raise taxes on corporations and the rich, and she was much more explicitly anti-corporate in some of her statements than I expected. At one point, I leaned over to KenBlogz to whisper, “This woman is a communist!” All of which is arguably actual news, given her reputation. (Although I suppose it isn’t news to the media which has been dutifully not reporting it.)
Yet MSNBC reports on “testicular fortitude” (sorry—who’s playing the gender card?!) and her interview with Bill O’Reilly (you don’t think that has anything to do with ginning up some of that outrage on display when she met with Scaife, do you?).
Ridiculous.
