It is political suicide for HIllary to carry on further. She has miserably failed to display her "executive skills" to run her campaign. And this may soon start to show within her Senatorial colleagues leading them to conclude that she is good as a direct producer than as a leader even in the Senate. =================================================== Poll: Pa. women ditching Hillary By McClatchy-Tribune Saturday, April 12, 2008 LEVITTOWN, Pa. - Like many women over 50, Paula Houwen was eager to vote for Hillary Clinton for president. “I was impressed when she was first lady. She wasn’t the country’s trophy wife,” the 56-year-old suburban Philadelphia pharmacist recalled. Today, though, Houwen’s no longer a Clinton fan. “I do not like the way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign,” she said. Clinton’s strongest core of support - white women - is beginning to erode in Pennsylvania, the site of the critical April 22 Democratic presidential primary, and a loss here could effectively end her White House run. A Quinnipiac University survey taken April 3-6 in Pennsylvania found that Clinton’s support fell 6 percentage points in a week among white women. Nationally, a Lifetime Networks poll of women found that 26 percent said they liked Clinton less now than in January, while only 15 percent said they liked her more. “These are Democratic women who waited all their lives for a woman president, but Hillary is not turning them on,” said polling analyst Clay Richards. The Clinton campaign is aware of the danger, and last week it began dispatching friends of Clinton from New York, Washington and elsewhere to key Pennsylvania communities to have “living room chats” with women. “We thought this might happen,” senior Clinton adviser Ann Lewis said of the erosion. A key reason, she said, is rival Barack Obama’s ad barrage - notably his persistent reminders to TV viewers that he’s well-equipped to heal the ailing economy. “I can’t overcome the media barrage, so we need to go back to talking to people about their personal concerns and emphasizing her experience,” Lewis said. Economic concerns are at the top of most women’s lists, and “Obama is coming across to more and more people as qualified on that issue,” Richards Article URL: bostonherald.com
