Bush V The Hill

New York Times: An article that looks how Democratic Dreams from last year meet the reality of the Power of the Presidency. One feels the the NYT has the same problem as the Democratic Leadership, they trusted their own spin rather than looking how real power works on the The Hill. Even the Democratic Leadership has learned not to attack the President on Iraq, the NYT writes the following, " They will keep the pressure on over Iraq, though the speaker indicated that she might focus more on policy questions and less on money for troops. " In other words the Democrats don't want to be seen as weak on National Security in an Election Year. It would be ironic if the Democrats lost the White House because of the actions of a Democratic Congress.

New Hampshire Poll

USA Today/ Gallup Poll: The Firewall that was New Hampshire has gone for Hillary Clinton, Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are tied in the latest poll from the state. Here are the figures:

Obama 32 %

Clinton 32 %

The Edwards campaign is at 18 %, in other words Obama is the main challenge to Clinton. If Obama can win Iowa and N.H and then South Carolina it could be over for Clinton. It charisma v experience, hope v harsh politics. The War in Iraq has improved, the threat of terrorism has gone down, thus voters will consider a risk and vote for a less experience candidate because they want some hope for the future, a bridge to the 21 Century as a certain President once stated, who could that be? Think it was a certain President Clinton.

Clinton Dirty Pool Part Three

ABC News: Has an exclusive story that the Clinton machine will launch Web sites to attack Senator Obama. Do the good people of Iowa want that kind of candidate to win their sate and even worse win the Presidency. The true colours of the Clinton Machine is coming out, win at any cost, no matter the damage to the election cycle. This is move makes Richard Nixon look like a Liberal!! No wonder the Richard Nixon had praise for Bill Clinton when he meet him, share the same political view, destroy your opponent and win at any cost.

McCain Next President ?

New Hampshire Union Leader: Has an interesting article on the real challenge to Romney coming from McCain in N.H not Huckabee. Early in the Campaign McCain was the front runner, can he do a Clinton and come back, as George W. Bush did in South Carolina in 2000 when McCain beat him in N.H. Politics and Xmas what fun!!!

CNN Poll in Iowa

CNN: Reports that the Iowa candidates are grouping together, latest figures in the Democratic Race for President.

Clinton 30 %

Obama 28 %

Edwards 26 %

The Edwards Campaign of late has even lead in one poll, that is one poll, even if Edwards could win Iowa it would mean a Clinton win, Edwards does not have the money he is taking public funds, if Clinton could come in second and win in N.H then she will win the Democratic nomination for President.

Drudge Report on McCain

Drudge Report: Reports a conflict between the Liberal New York Times and the McCain Campaign. It seems that the NYT has a interesting story connecting the Senator to a Lobbyist. What is most interesting is who leaked the story and why, well it seems to have come from the NYT, reporters who are not happy that the Editor does not want to run a story before people vote next year. This sounds like a good story if true, all those in the story deny its basics. It shall be interesting if the Elite Media follow up on this story. Could the Clinton Machine be behind it, always assume they are guilty of something, even if different campaign.

New Republican Poll

ABC News/Washington Post: A new poll that shows that Governor Huckabee is still in the lead in Iowa.

Huckabee 35 %

Romney 27 %

I still think my early call for Huckabee in Iowa is correct. I dont think Romney cant get pass his Mormon faith, not fair but that is politics.
