Hillary Clinton campaign deploys husband Bill very carefully

According to a January 7 poll from the New York Times and CBS News, 48% of democratic voters would pick Clinton compared to 41% who would vote for Sanders.

Should Mr. Sanders seize momentum once voting starts in the Democratic presidential nominating contests, there’s a growing belief that Mrs. Clinton’s 36-point lead in SC could quickly evaporate, just as it did in 2008 when then-Sen.

A closely watched Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll released Thursday showed Sanders virtually tied with Clinton in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa.

“This advertisement does something that Senator Sanders said he wouldn’t do”, said Joel Benenson, Ms. Clinton’s chief strategist.

The survey was conducted January 5-10 by polling 492 likely Iowa caucus participants with a margin of error of +/- 4.4%. Clinton leads Sanders 42 percent to 40 percent, a sharp decline from a month back, when Clinton had a clear nine-point lead.

The Democratic frontrunner’s campaign organized a news conference call with reporters on Thursday, following the release of a new ad by the Bernie Sanders campaign that it deemed to be “negative”. The letter, which contends Sanders” financial overhaul plan “is critical for avoiding another “too-big-to-fail’ financial crisis”, states that Clinton’s “more modest proposals do not got far enough”.

Bill Clinton promised voters in 1992 that they’d be getting “two for the price of one” if they elected him to the White House – a presidential duo of the young Arkansas governor and his Yale Law-educated wife.

“I am not nervous at all”, Clinton said in an interview yesterday on NBC’s Today show. “It was kind of like a submarine campaign, you know, he’s been under the radar, but we knew he was going to pop up real soon… and it’s just happening the way he planned it, you know”. Plus, she has the support of 56 percent of women, compared to Sanders who has 32 percent, and men, 46 percent to 43 percent.

“As much as I admire Chelsea, she didn’t read the plan”, he said. In response to that sentiment, the Bernie Sanders Twitter account shared a graphic that displayed information from a poll taken last month by Quinnipiac University about the possibility of Bernie Sanders against Republican candidates.

O’Malley’s team sought to distance themselves from the Clinton-Sanders scrap.

Sanders, who has seen high numbers in the New Hampshire polls, is now nipping at Clinton’s heels in Iowa.
