Hillary Clinton looking for a late primary push

This is from yesterday, but it's still good.

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/2016/01/hillary_clinton_looking_for_a_late_primary_push

Hillary Clinton, trailing Bernie Sanders in the polls here just weeks from the first-in-the-nation primary, sought to woo voters with promises to battle for the middle class — and reminders of her experience and the achievements of her husband Bill’s administration.
...
She also aligned herself closely with President Obama, praising him for facing a “recalcitrant, obstructionist Congress.”

Crowds waited for hours in the frigid temps to enter packed venues full of both loyal Clinton supporters and undecided voters.

Some said the Vermont senator has noble goals, but his experience pales in comparison to Clinton’s.


Crowds waiting for hours in frigid temps and packed venues ... Clinton just isn't generating enough enthusiasm.

referring to NH. Unfortunately, she is trailing in polls there.

But I have every belief that she can still pull it off in NH, despite what looks like a fair-sized deficit. I believe that Bernie's strength among Independent men is overstated and that a lot of those will, in fact, opt for voting in the GOP primary. I also believe that Hillary's strength among Independent and Republican women (NH is in the northeast, after all, and Republicans there are a bit more moderate) has been understated. JMO

But we'll only see for sure on voting day.

Older voters are with her. They vote.

If the indies go to the GOP Primary to stop Trump/Cruz, Bernie will lose NH.
Kacich and Rubio have been gaining ground in NH, that is not good for Berns.

close, I believe that Hillary will ultimately carry the day. Unless, it's a much bigger win than I expect it to be, the delegates will likely be fairly evenly split.

I am keeping my fingers very crossed for NH, but I share your thoughts on that. I hadn't realized the the Kacich-Rubio situation, but am glad to hear about it - even though I find both candidates disgusting.
