so maybe HRC is beginning to gain ground again? I think she took a hit after NH and then her superb debate performance and appeal to voters that she is more than a one-issue candidate may be starting to resonate. Hopefully Nevada will be good tomorrow and add to any momentum.

NV and SC are showing the same.

I noted I saw a little motion toward Clinton in the last few days in some other threads, this just gets added to the pile.

I think the uterus commentary and the finger wagging aren't playing well--and people are starting to investigate his record as well, and finding it not nearly so pure as advertised.
