Obama Surges, Clinton Falters
February 4, 2008
By Dick Morris
As we approach Super Tues day, Barack Obama has been surging all week - closing the enormous gap he once faced in most key states. But his momentum has yet to carry him over the top. Hillary Clinton still clings to leads, sometimes narrow, in the bulk of the states in play.
Of the 10 states with reliable and recent poll data, Hillary leads in eight, although by razor-thin margins in California, Alabama, Missouri, Connecticut and New Jersey. Only in New York, Massachusetts and Tennessee does her lead seem secure.
Hillary Has Not Sealed The Deal With Iowa Voters
January 2, 2008
She's the $100-million woman of American politics, a pre-ordained Democratic front-runner who has spent the past 12 months preparing for this very moment — a momentum-setting victory in the Iowa presidential caucus elections.

But as Hillary Clinton dashed yesterday across western Iowa on a four-stop campaign swing ahead of tomorrow's caucuses, the former first lady was confronting a worrying development her strategists believed unthinkable only two months ago.

Elder Bush nixes Bill Clinton trip idea
December 18, 2007
Former President George H.W. Bush has shot down his successor Bill Clinton’s idea of a diplomatic mission under a Hillary Clinton presidency that would send him and other notables abroad to assure other nations that “America is open for business and cooperation again.”

The move came one day after Bill Clinton made the suggestion on the campaign trail in South Carolina, in response to a question from a supporter about his wife’s “number-one priority” upon reaching the White House.
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy.
“President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for president, and looks forward to discussing their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.”
