Last poll, she was ahead by twenty, so wouldn't this really make her down by another 12?

But she's still leading, or "up" on Obama, by eight points, which is what I meant. Anyhow, I changed it to "ahead" to avoid ambiguity. Perhaps I needed more coffee this morning...

Some of them don't include all likely voters, just Democrats. Both Ohio and Texas allow Independents and Republicans to vote across party lines.

When she ran for the US Senate Seat in New York in 2000, she went around to every county promising jobs. She even boasted she would create 200,000 and promised to deliver them in 6 years.

I was curious so I checked Chuck Shumers website, and sure enough she delivered 32,000 jobs. Mind you she had 6 years to create these jobs which she promised to the people of New York.
Remember Hillary will do anything to win, first she was for the war in 2002, and now she is against the war. First she was for Bill Clintons NAFTA for years and now she is suddenly against it. She is an opportunist and in this economy we dont need anymore promises, just action.

I hear her mention appointing a trade prosecutor. Guess what folks that was not her idea, it was lifted from another US Senators website specifically Debbie Stabenow of Michigan

She is in bed with corporate America and they are her biggest donors. Dont expect changes from her, it just wont happen.

Every time I think of her thirty years experience claim, I remember the last two years in the White House. (Soap Opera) I wonder what would've happened if she had show her outrage "Shame on you, Bill. Shame on your" and then tossed the bum out. NO WOMN IN AMERICAN HISTORY has ever tossed out the President
That takes courage. The thing is, she didn't think she could win the presidency without him.. Poor girl

Everyday she remains in the election she drives a wedge through the party. They don't differ in any substantive sense from each other but she is unlikeable and polarizing. Everyday she remains is a bold statment that says "I'm more important than the party and its goals"

Who is she really trying to represent at this point?

Seriously?

She's a presidential candidate. She's not stealing your lunch money. This kind of random factoid "look at this!" post just looks petulant.

Especially in traditional polling, which doesn't work anymore, since it concentrates on "likely voters" and this Election is all about the "unlikely voters" who turn out in masses that overwhelm the polls.

Gonna be close - she might make it.

And those don't seem to be forthcoming.
