Clinton’s Lead Shrinks in NBC News/WSJ Poll
Highlighting the fragility of single-figure presidential primary leads, Breitbart’s Mike Flynn notes that at this stage in the campaign for the 2008 Democratic nomination, Clinton posted “much stronger leads against [eventual winner] Barack Obama and [antipoverty campaigner] John Edwards”.
But if Biden, who is said to be considering entering the race, is considered, Clinton’s lead is cut to 7 percent. These may be the truest words Bill Clinton has ever spoken.

“She said she was sorry that her personal email caused all this confusion”, he said.
“The Petraeus emails, first discovered by the Defense Department and then passed to the State Department’s inspector general, challenge that claim”.
“And she does not have a track record of accomplishment”, Fiorina said.

“These emails are now in our possession and will be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests”, Kirby said. “That was when she started using http://clintonemail.com”. She initially described her choice as a matter of convenience, but later took responsibility for making a wrong decision.
A senior State Department official told ABC News on Friday that it missed these emails the first time around because of the cumbersome nature of discovery process.
