You guys are probably the most powerful online supporters we have ever seen. When you rally, stuff happens. Who needs the big bucks when you got the web….can anyone tell us in a few words why Ron Paul will be a good president? We’ll write it up.

He’s getting our vote. Just added him to the poll.

In breaking news, Hillary Clinton has announced her new running mate.

Bill.

Two new polls out of New Hampshire show Hillary Clinton expanding her lead over Barack Obama, John Edwards stable in third place, and Bill Richardson climbing into double digits hot on Edwards’s heels. The polls in question are the new Rasmussen Poll (500 Dem Primary LVs, September 16) and the latest Franklin Pierce University/WBZ poll (403 Dem Primary LVs, September 11–14, MOE +/- 4.9%.) The past Franklin Pierce polls have Gore in the race, so I’m including no trendlines.

Interesting that the New Hampshire numbers, unlike Iowa, are fairly consistent with the national primary numbers (except for Richardson who does significantly better here than he does nationally.)

This Rasmussen analysis gives more context for why we’re seeing the results we are:

Thirty-nine percent (39%) of New Hampshire Primary voters say Clinton is the candidate of change. Twenty-five percent (25%) say that label applies to Obama and 16% see Edwards as the candidate of change. There is a significant gender gap on this point. By a 43% to 23% margin, women see Clinton rather than Obama as the candidate. Men are evenly divided between those candidates Twenty-four percent (24%) of New Hampshire’s Democratic Primary voters would not want Barack Obama to win the Democratic nomination. Twenty percent (20%) say the same about both Clinton and Edwards. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say any of the those three candidates are acceptable. Once again, a gender gap is visible—28% of men do not want Clinton to win the nomination while only 15% of women hold that view.

And from Frankllin Pierce, Clinton is favored on Iraq, well above her rivals. Most interestingly, Bill Richardson is seen as more credible on Iraq than John Edwards.

Democratic primary voters were asked to identify the candidate who they think is most qualified to handle the situation in Iraq. One-third of voters (33%) identified Hillary Clinton as the most qualified candidate, far more than Barack Obama (10%), Bill Richardson (10%), Joe Biden (8%) or John Edwards (7%). Twenty-three percent of Democratic primary voters are unsure who is most qualified to handle the situation in Iraq.
