Obama Takes Double Digit Lead in Polls. Hillary Gets Tough

Obama leads and says, "How Ya' Like Me Now?
Results of a USA Today/Gallup Poll released Sunday show Obama has opened up a 13-percentage-point lead over Clinton in New Hampshire. In mid-December, Clinton and Obama were tied at 32 percent. The poll of 778 New Hampshire residents likely to vote in the Democratic primary was conducted after Thursday's Iowa caucuses.

Hillary and her supporters new mantra on Obama and what he's done in the past, 'That's Not Change!"


Only 778 people. Well that doesn't make the whole election but it does give Obama something to crow about, considering that a month ago they were in a dead heat.
So now Hillary is on the offence pointing out the many times Obama has voted for the status quot when it comes to the war in Iraq.

"If you gave a speech, and a very good speech, against the war in Iraq in 2002, and then by 2004 you're saying you're not sure how you would have voted, and then by 2005, 6 and 7 you vote for $300 billion for the war you said you were against, that's not change," Clinton told roughly 3,000 at Nashua North High School.

As she moved down a list of issues aimed at weakening Obama's grip on the change mantra, the audience heavy on Clinton supporters echoed the new line, shouting "That's not change!"
