Poll: Clinton Explodes To A 33 Point Lead

Washington Post has the details…

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has consolidated her place as the front-runner in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, outpacing her main rivals in fundraising in the most recent quarter and widening her lead in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

For the first time, Clinton (N.Y.) is drawing support from a majority of Democrats — and has opened up a lead of 33 percentage points over Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). Her popularity, the poll suggests, is being driven by her strength on key issues and a growing perception among voters that she would best represent change.

The new numbers come on the heels of an aggressive push by Clinton to dominate the political landscape. She unveiled her health-care proposal and then appeared on all five Sunday news shows on the same day — all while her husband, former president Bill Clinton, went on tour to promote a new book. Within the past month, at least one Clinton has appeared on television virtually every day, increasing the campaign’s exposure among millions of Americans.

Was there ever really a serious challenge to Mrs. Clinton in the Democratic Party’s race for the nomination? Besides leaving the White House with all of it’s furniture back in January of 2001, the Clinton’s left with complete veneration from it’s party. The understanding was that Hillary was next in line. The pending coronation need only hurdle one obstacle; which senate seat to cherry pick to make up for her lack of experience. New Yorkers were the perfect fools. There’s no mistaking it, the Clinton’s ability to raise money and the foresight to place former operatives from the first Clinton presidency into left-wing think tanks was all in preparation for Madam Hillary’s run. There is no way in hell that a one term senator from Illinois was ever going to derail the 2 decade long master plan of the Clintons.
