Hillary Clinton In The Crosshairs

With the campaign clock ticking candidates have little time left to gain any ground with voters before the primary.

For Democratic candidates, it has become an all out fight against one candidate in particular.

Samantha Hayes in Washington D.C. tells us Senator Hillary Clinton is finding herself in the middle of it all.

That's right, with the latest poll numbers showing her lead in New Hampshire to be growing; there is little doubt that Hillary Clinton will find herself in the crosshairs of her Democratic counterparts once they take the debate stage.

Clinton’s numbers are growing, her competitor’s numbers are shrinking and for the Democratic voters in New Hampshire, there could be one big reason why Clinton is their front-runner.

 They want to win in November. It is more about winning in November than anything else right now.

A new CNN/WMUR New Hampshire poll shows Granite State Democrats overwhelmingly believe the former first lady is their party's best chance to retake the White House.

The best chance at the nomination, but no chance at winning a popularity contest, according to the poll, she is the least likable of the top three Democrats, which maybe hard for voters to reconcile.

"I believe a presidential vote is the most personal vote you ever cast. This is somebody you're voting on and saying, ‘do I want this person to send my son or daughter to war?’ You really have to like a presidential candidate," Gloria Borger said.

What Clinton's campaign likes the most is the momentum she seems to be building ahead of Democratic candidates and head to head with the GOP field.

Rudy Giuliani is the top contender in that field, and today he met with Iraqi President Jalal Talibani, in an effort to show voters that "America's Mayor" as he has been called, can soon be America's president.
