| "...it
appears evident that the Clinton campaign is in total freefall..."

When Bill
Clinton became president in 1993, it was reported that Clinton staffers
talked of three terms — two for Bill and one for Hillary. The
idea drew laughs at the time, but gained credibility as Hillary became the
first First Lady to become a sitting U.S. senator. The
decades-long dream of Hillary Clinton to become the first woman president
may appear to have gone up in smoke last week.
Reeling from
her defeat in last week’s Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is
reportedly in full panic mode as the latest polls show she’s likely to
lose big in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary as well. Long
considered the front-runner, Clinton is now so beleaguered that political
insiders are beginning to wonder when — not if — she will drop out of
the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Rival John
Edwards has reportedly told his senior staff that he plans to stay in the
race because Clinton “could soon be out.”
Whether she
stays in the race or drops out, it appears evident that the Clinton
campaign is in total freefall:
- Hillary trailed
Barack Obama by 13 percentage points — 41 to 28 — in a USA
Today/Gallup Poll conducted over the weekend.
|
|
- She also trailed
Obama in a survey by Rasmussen Reports, 39 percent to 27
percent.
|
|
- A desperate
Clinton went on “a rampage,” on Sunday, according to the
New York Post, blasting Obama as all talk and no action and
criticizing his stance on the Iraq war, lobbyists and other
issues. The Post ran a photo of Hillary on its cover Monday
under the headline “PANIC.”
|
|
- After her
third-place finish in Iowa, Clinton sent out a fundraising
e-mail acknowledging she is in a dogfight and saying:
“We’ve got more work to do.”
|
|
- Hillary has been
having so much trouble attracting large crowds of New
Hampshire voters to her campaign events that she has been
bussing in supporters from out of state, MSNBC reported.
Obama, on the other hand, has been drawing standing-room-only
crowds. On Saturday, so many supporters turned out for an
Obama rally at a Nashua school that hundreds had to wait
outside.
|
|
- Former Sen. Bill
Bradley on Sunday became the latest influential political
figure to come out in support of Obama.
|
|
- The Clinton
campaign has been engaging in finger-pointing following her
Iowa defeat, with advisers blaming chief strategist Mark Penn
for failing to predict the Iowa results and for running a
campaign that is “too cautious, too arrogant, too
conventional,” according to Time magazine.
|
|
- Women voters,
long considered a strength for Clinton, are abandoning her
campaign — polls showed that Obama beat Clinton among female
voters in the Iowa caucuses, 35 percent to 30 percent.
|
|
- Even Bill
Clinton, Hillary’s trump card, has been drawing less
supporters to events – as he openly talks of his wife’s
difficulty in appealing to young voters. On Friday, he was
greeted by rows of empty seats at the University of New
Hampshire, and several people filed out in the middle of his
speech.
|
Analysts say
Hillary’s woes are compounded by several factors. First, if she loses in
New Hampshire she will most assuredly lose in South Carolina where African
Americans dominate the Democratic primary.
With early
losses under her belt, Hillary will have an uphill battle convincing
donors she can win. Deprived of cash, she will be unable to compete in
Super Tuesday — which demands huge ad budgets to cover the large number
of states voting.
