Hillary Clinton takes lead against John Mccain and Barack Obama in new Fox News Poll

[Tropics_Dude83]

Great news. This should help her sway the superdelegates that she needs to win the nomination. Her favorability rating is at 47%, which matches Obama's. She bests Obama 44-41% in national democratic preference. She leads Mcain by 1 point in their general election poll and Obama trails by 3. I'm done with Hillary's competitor for the nomination and I have nothing further to say regarding him. Time to be positive about Senator Clinton.

from www.americablog.com:

Who's behind the mysterious "robo-calls" that have spread misleading voter information and sown confusion and frustration among North Carolina residents over the last week?

Facing South has confirmed the source of the calls, and the mastermind is Women's Voices Women Vote, a D.C.-based nonprofit which aims to boost voting among "unmarried women voters."

What's more, Facing South has learned that the firestorm Women's Voices has ignited in North Carolina isn't the group's first brush with controversy. Women's Voices' questionable tactics have spawned thousands of voter complaints in at least 11 states and brought harsh condemnation from some election officials for their secrecy, misleading nature and likely violations of election law.
This is, to put it simply, stunning. I have to include a major segment of the post from Facing South to give context to this story:
In correspondence with North Carolina election officials, Women's Voices founder and President Page Gardner merely said that the disruptive timing was an "unfortunate coincidence" -- a strange alibi for a group with their level of resources and sophistication.

There are other questions about Women's Voices' outreach efforts. Although the group purports to be targeting "unmarried women," their calls and mailings don't fit the profile. Kevin Farmer in Durham, who first recorded the call, is a white male. Many of the recipients are African-American; Rev. Nelson Johnson, who is a married, male and African-American, reported that his house was called four times by the mysterious "Lamont Williams."

And as Farmer asks, "Why are they using a guy for the calls if the target audience is single women?"

Some have also questioned the ties between Women's Voices operatives and Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton. Gardner, for example, contributed $2,500 to Clinton's HILLPAC on May 4, 2006, and in March 2005 she donated a total of $4,200 to Clinton, according to The Center for Responsive Politics' OpenSecrets.org. She has not contributed to the Obama campaign, according to the database.

Women's Voices Executive Director Joe Goode worked for Bill Clinton's election campaign in 1992 as a pollster; the group's website says he was intimately involved in "development and implementation of all polling and focus groups done for the presidential primary and general election campaigns" for Clinton.

Women's Voices board member John Podesta, former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, donated $2,300 to Hillary Clinton on April 19, 2007, according to OpenSecrets.org. Podesta also donated $1,000 to Barack Obama in July 2004, but that was well before Obama announced his candidacy for president.

"The reports from other states are very disturbing, especially the pattern of mass confusion among targeted voters on the eve of a state's primary," Democracy North Carolina's Bob Hall tells Facing South. "These are highly skilled political operatives -- something doesn't add up. Maybe it's all well-intended and explainable. At this moment, our first priority is to stop the robo-calls and prevent the chaos and potential disenfranchisement caused by this group sending 276,000 packets of registration forms into North Carolina a few days before a heated primary election. We need their immediate cooperation."

While Hall says his group has "begged" the group to stop the mailings, Women's Voices has refused to do so -- even though the mail-in voter registration deadline for the primaries passed April 11.

State election officials say they are bracing for the deluge of confused phone calls and complaints that are sure to follow.

Yes, Hillary is a uniter, not a divider. Yes, Bill is a 'victim' of racism.

[cali]

12. sorry, darlin'. SDs are breaking for Obama

particularly elected SDs. He got Reps, Braley, Capps and Hll today alone. And if you think a Fox Poll is going to make a difference to SDs, you really are hillyland.

Hillypoo is still trailing. And you may childishly hide your head in hillyland, but Obama ain't through with YOU. Tough shit for you, hillbot.

was an elected SD. Obama got 3- all elected SDs today.

[powergirl]

13. You can always count on Fox News to persuade those Democratic Superdelegates

Fox always skews for Clinton. I wonder why that is???

[Maribelle]

15. Wonderful!

:bounce:

[movonne]

40. Why you think it is wonderful that fox loves clinton..the problem is

[rodeodance]

17. Thanks

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. Not much to be positive about.

I'll be fighting Bill and Hillary's political cronies for the next eight years. Looks pretty dim to me.

[MadBadger]

19. Shes up by 1 and Obama is won by 3, both within the MOE, right?

[Upton]

20. Murdoch, Scaife, O'Reilly, now a Fox News poll, will it ever end?

Is everyone sure Clinton and her supporters are all real Democrats

[redqueen]

34. Oh, it'll end all right...

won't be too much longer, now.

:hi:

[movonne]

41. Oh no...I have come to the conclusion that a lot of these folks are

repugs...how could they like what this candidate is doing...

[book_worm]

21. Let's see one poll has her slightly ahead of Obama after months of several polls showing Hillary

trailing and this is going to prove how electable she is? and a survey of only 400? Sorry, not working. Did you hear of all the SD who came out for Obama today?

[newmajority]

22. FAUX Noize poll

And the Hillbots call it "great news". Beam me up, Scotty. :eyes:

[haymakeragain]

23. Whooa! Fox News. That's meaningful.

Not really at all actually.

[wiggs]

24. Unfathomable poll stat: 70% of repubs polled in Fox poll have favorable opinion of GWB. nt

[ShortnFiery]

28. Oh Yowser! When I hear "FOX News" I'm a thinking Right Wing Warmongers: HRC's Neo-Liberalism fits

and Billy Bubba Clinton's DLC fits in nicely with all those FOX HOUNDS. :evilgrin:

[ErinBerin84]

29. As an Obama supporter,

I am MORE than happy to let Senator Clinton take the lead in a Fox News poll!

[Skidmore]

30. In other words, it is being freeped.

Oh, I keep forgetting. Sen. Clinton is the Neo-Con Senator from the state of NY.

[casus belli]

46. Quoting Fox News says it all...

Anyone heralding anything Fox has to say as "great news" deserves my ire and loathing. Congratulations.

[Tribetime]

47. Fox ...Hillary's best friend ...during the primary only

then it's back to bashing her.

[Norrin Radd]

48. ?????????????????

[SemiCharmedQuark]

53. I would think this was a post by a snarky Obama poster if there weren't so many Clinton supporters

cheering.

[bvar22]

49. Fox's target audience...conservatives, WAR supporters, the ill informed

prefer Hillary. :shrug:

I'm not surprised.

50. We won't know anything until the Free Republic poll numbers are out!!!!

If Obama doesn't win those, I think he should drop out!
