She probably needs to get out before damage is done to her Senate seat.

Disagree, it's far too early to think about withdrawal. The article keeps mentioning her rapid change in fortunes, so fast the media can't keep up. That can happen again, and most likely will. In who's favour I'm not sure.

EDIT - http://www.pollster.com/08-NH-Dem-Pres-Primary.php

If she were in Biden's place, she should pull out. Not when you're polling in second place in NH.

National numbers are a bit behind, but still respectable.

That said, I wouldn't mind if Hillary pulled out, it just wouldn't make any sense for her to do so.

That Pollster site is out of date - they need to catch up with "today". CNN is even reporting double digits behind Obama right now, so I have to disagree with your assesment. Here is 'todays polls' from partially owned by Hillary CNN itself - the most biased of them all!

If you look through the individual results on pollster, there quite a few with 10/11-point leads for Obama.
Anyway, the focus I'd choose isn't on polls, it's that if after one caucus you find yourself in second or even third place, it's far too early to drop out. The degree of Obama's lead doesn't change that it happened very quickly, and could reverse just as quickly.

This is one she should win but the polls don't look good at all. The results for this one should be interesting, looking forward to this one.

One thing for sure, Hillary is not the shoe-in for the nod. She will have to earn it from the looks of things.

Who doesn't have an exit strategy? Thompson?

SUBMAN1 · 01-08-08, 12:31 PM

Only those in defeat work on the major details of exit strategies.

Tchocky · 01-08-08, 12:37 PM

Wait, is this Iraq or the White House?

You can probably be sure that everyone has an exit strategy. Lack of could be the decider in looking honorable or looking idiotic. They have a plan.
