Mizz Inevitable Limping To The Finish Line

After months of leading the Democratic field in New Hampshire, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is effectively tied with Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Clinton had a 14-point lead in the same poll last month. Television talk show star Oprah Winfrey held big campaign events for Obama while the poll was being conducted, including one in New Hampshire Dec. 9. Among Republicans, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has been surging in Iowa and nationally, but remains in single digits in New Hampshire. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a 13-point lead over his nearest rivals, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain.

THE NUMBERS - DEMOCRATS

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 31 percent

Barack Obama, 30 percent

John Edwards, 16 percent

Bill Richardson, 7 percent

---

THE NUMBERS - REPUBLICANS

Mitt Romney, 32 percent

Rudy Giuliani, 19 percent

John McCain, 19 percent

Mike Huckabee, 9 percent

Ron Paul, 7 percent

Not that polls such as this are all that representative of what will go down when they open the polls, as push after late inning push will turn it into a seesaw event, but its heartwarming to see the democrats so confused as to which idiot to vote for. Since Fred has begun to sink into the sunset I don't particularly care what the Republicans are up to, but if Huckleberry trounces Romney in Iowa neither candidate will enter the BIG events with all that much momentum, and that'll allow Rudy to slip back into the running.
