Is Hillary Clinton Still The Frontrunner?
April 9th, 2007
The media’s political experts are already drafting the campaign obituary for Hillary Clinton as presidential candidate. Supposedly Barack Obama’s impressive fundraising performace, which essentially matched Hillary Clinton’s money raising, knocks her off the pedestal as Democratic frontrunner. It all reminds me of four years ago, when Senator John Kerry lost his frontrunner status to Howard Dean. Is history repeating itself?
There was always going to be a strong contingent within the Democratic Party that subscribed to the ABH (anyone but Hillary) principle. However, looking at the consistancy of Hillary’s national poll numbers since she announced her presidential “exploration,” it seems that something more significant than Barack Obama’s dollar figures is happening: the opposition to Hillary Clinton’s nomination within the Democratic Party is being divided by two strong candidates, rather than being monopolized by John Edwards. Furthermore, while the media is focusing on dollars, Senator Clinton, while maintaining a very strong fundraising performace, has also been quietly assembling the infrastructure that will enable her to mobilize a large segment of the women’s vote on her hehalf. In the 2008 presidential election, women will form the single largest voting block. All the polls indicate that she is way ahead of all her opponents in support from female voters. However, corporate media is always about the bottom line, including its coverage of political campaigns. No wonder they are more impressed with what Obama is doing with his fundraising consultants, rather that the steps Hillary is taking behind the scenes to win the critical states primaries that are being run months earlier in this strange campaign season.

The race is wide open to all candidates. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama have the nomination locked up.
