Hillary Is Smeared, Hillary Leads -- What's New?

I've come across a bunch of news items today that definitely deserve attention.
  • The New York Times has published the negative reviews of the two latest anti-Hillary books that I blogged about last night. They can be found here and here.
  • Joe Conason, an outstanding columnist linked to on our blogroll, also pans the two hit pieces in his column at Salon.
  • Greg Sargent has a great catch of a Boston Herald smear of Senator Clinton that was picked up by the Drudge Report.
    Matt Drudge is pushing a story today from the Boston Herald that tries to suggest that Hillary Clinton has had some "work" done on her face. The paper's story has "before and after" photos on line that purport to demonstrate this, with the "before" photo showing the skin on Hillary's face to be somewhat less than smooth, and the "after" photo showing her to be smooth-faced.

    There's a small problem, though. It turns out that the "before" photo was actually taken after the after one, meaning that her smooth-faced look preceded her less-smooth-faced look.

  • A recent poll that shows Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in a dead heat for the Democratic nomination has been receiving some attention. However, Mark Blumenthal at Pollster.com notes that the poll is clearly an outlier, as demonstrated by this graph.
  • Speaking of polls, there's a new one (pdf.) out from Franklin Pierce College that surveyed New Hampshire residents following the debate on Sunday. The poll has Clinton blowing away the competition in the eyes of Granite State voters.

Clinton must be a hero and bow out of race!

I was a Clinton supporter for a long time, but I am not anymore. I am a widowed, senior, white woman as if that makes any difference. It is time for Senator Clinton to become the hero and withdraw from the race. She can then help repair the damage she has caused. She needs to do it NOW, before PA. There is no need for her to continue. As a woman I am alarmed, because if she was not a woman or a Clinton pressure would have been put on her to bow out gracefully. Continuing does not help woman candidates have any credibility. She needs to show her love for her country and party. If she does this she will restore the respect she has lost by her “win at all cost” tactics.
