Clinton losing traction over Obama in Pennsylvania, Indiana

WASHINGTON -- With three crucial Democratic primaries looming, Hillary Rodham Clinton may not be headed toward the blockbuster victories she needs to jump-start her presidential bid -- even in Pennsylvania, the state that was supposed to be her ace in the hole, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.

The survey found the New York senator leading Barack Obama by just 5 percentage points in Pennsylvania, which votes next Tuesday. Such a margin would not give her much of a boost in the battle for the party's nomination.

What is more, the poll found Clinton trails Obama by 5 points in Indiana, another Rust Belt state that should play to her strengths among blue-collar voters.

In North Carolina, an Obama stronghold, he is running 13 points ahead.

The race remains volatile, however, because many likely voters in the Democratic primaries are still undecided -- 12% in Pennsylvania, 19% in Indiana and 17% in North Carolina.

2. Great. She'll be a complete...

...flailing mess at the debate---grasping at straws and attacking--in an
attempt to save her drowning campaign.

Wonderful. Another night of sandbox behavior.

4. Look at all those undecided voters.

Quick! Decide!

I can't stand this anymore . . . .

5. Some poll released THIS MORNING said Hillary was up 20% in PA!

Between the voter fraud and polling shenanigans, it's hard to know WTF is going on any more.
I'm inclined to believe that Obama is closing the gap. He's gotten the vote out, taken a few states he shouldn't have, and Hillary's been running a progressively lamer campaign.
Rovian fraud IS alive and well, but I think he'd only use it if it was close. As much as the Rupubs would prefer Hillary as the Dem nominee, I don't think he'd use his remaining aces in his hole (way up his hole, ha ha) to spend on a Clinton.

7. That's the outlier ARG poll that even RCP no longer includes in its poll averages

The very reliable Quinnipiac poll had a very large sample size of 2,103, was taken after the bitter controversy, and it has Hillary ahead of Obama by only 6 points.

6. Um, yeah, she was never going to get any "blockbuster victories".

People don't like proven liars. That's why they hate b*s*.

8. Hillary the "Elitist"

Remember back in the early 90s when Hillary got slammed for making what were called "elitist" comments about women who stay home and bake cookies? Now Hypocritical Hill is calling Obama an elitist. Does she think everyone has forgotten this?
