Obama, Clinton in New Hampshire dead heat
More details here. Senator Clinton last week jumped on Obama last week, as you remember, when he said he would meet personally with the leaders of Syria or Cuba in his first year as president. Clinton said that was "irresponsible" and "naive." As you remember, I suggested that Mrs. Clinton was correct from the point of view of policy; but I wasn't so sure that her attacks would play so well with liberal Democratic primary voters. The tightening race in New Hampshire suggests that maybe, indeed, she went too far. It also means that Democratic activisits are pretty liberal.
