Hillary Clinton's Army Has Way Too Many Chicken Littles
Hillary Clinton, former U.S. secretary of state, right, waves to attendees during the DreamForce Conference in San Francisco, California, U.S., on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014.
Photographer: Noah Berger/BloombergThe restless, roving hordes of Hillary Clinton 2016 supporters met in New York City this past weekend, and one striking revelation from the coverage is how worried Clintonworld is about blowing the primary again. While the Bloomberg Politics/Saint Anselm poll was finding a historic 49-point lead for Clinton in New Hampshire, Terry Shumaker, a co-chair of Clinton's 2008 campaign there, was speculating about how the lead could wane.
"Taking New Hampshire for granted is very dangerous," Shumaker told CNN's Dan Merica. "Last time I believe Hillary Clinton had an almost 30-point lead in the polls in our state in the summer and that lead melted like an ice sculpture on the mall in Washington in July."
