Thread: Obama leading in NH

According to the latest polls, Obama has pulled ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire, despite several days ago being behind by nearly 20 points in the polls. Looks like the NH independents aren't a big fan of Hillary.

I just find it interesting how all the major news outlets are marginalizing the poll numbers to make it look a lot closer than what is suggested. I would prefer if they just came out and said the polls are vastly inaccurate or that they are sad their candidates just aren't winning.

& Obama leads despite Hillarys 35 years of experience. :laughing:
Um, anybody know what that 35 years of experience consists of?
I do like Obama, but he is a liberal & I just can't vote for a liberal.

Has she actually sponsored and passed any legislation or is she just riding the coat-tails of those Senators that actually do something while in office? Why hasn't the left asked why all these promises she makes aren't being offered up as legislation now? Seems to me an 'agent of change' would actually want to do something today...

I have asked that very question, what bills has she authored, what has she ever gotten through the senate? I have yet to get annswer & can't find anything anyplace else.
She rides her husbands coat tails, because she would never lower herself to bow to another senator.
She keeps saying that she isn't just for change but she has changed things. What?
Her 35 years of experience has what to do with being POTUS? Her first job was working to get Nixon impeached, then she went to Ar & campaigned for her then boyfriend, then she married said boyfriend, went to work for the Rose Law Firm, diddled in cattle futures, was co-owner of a failed land development. She was instrumental in re-developing Ar education, when she 7 Billzebubba left Ar, the education system was still 49th in the nation (I think that's right, maybe 47th). She was then elected co-president of the US & we all know how well she did with that job. :whistling:

I may not like him personally, but every day I get more and more certain Barack Hussein Obama is gonna win.

I rewatched his speech at the New Hampshire Democratic 100 on CSPAN. it seemed like he said "Hope" 100 times. It was only 19. And "Change" was 14. That's not too bad for a 20 minute speech.

He keeps promising he can do all this wonderful stuff. Who knows, maybe he can. One can only hope. HaHa.

I'm old enough to remember a time an African-American would never be able to do what he has done only because of his race. In that respect, this is really exciting.

Now, what I would like someone to ask Hillary Clinton is: "Your husband gave China most-favored trade nation status, oversaw NAFTA and deregulated the banks - do you count these on your list of accomplishments?"

If anyone is interested in watching the speech:

New Hampshire Democratic Party 100 Club Dinner (1/4/2008)

Obama starts speaking 2 hrs. and 43 minutes into the video.

It's actually a pretty good speech. He has a very subtle, indirect way of bashing Hillary. Good for him.

2 hours and 43 minutes!!

I like Obama as a person and as a politician. I just don't like him as President.

Why don't you like him as President? He's never been President.

He shouldn't be. Not yet at least. He's like an intern fresh out of school trying to get a C level position.
