Why isn't this HEADLINE NEWS across the MSM ??? The "Inevitable Democrat Party Candidate" Hillary Clinton's national lead over Bernie Sanders is gone, according to the most recent poll

Although this poll has been reported on, as a routine matter ---  has the main stream media decided nobody really cares that Hillary Clinton's earlier 31-point national lead over Bernie Sanders is almost completely wiped out according to the post-Iowa Caucuses Quinnipiac Poll



More important the Q-poll shows Bernie Sanders doing BETTER against his possible GOP opponents than HRC would



According to a report by Blake Neff in the Daily Caller, "Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s longstanding national lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders has just about entirely evaporated, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University....  According to the poll, Clinton is supported by 44 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, while Sanders has the backing of 42 percent. Clinton’s small lead is inside the poll’s 4.5 percent margin of error and it’s the smallest she’s ever had in the entire race, based on polls recorded by Real Clear Politics.... (See "Hillary’s National Lead Over Sanders Is All Gone" by  Blake Neff,  2/5/16, Daily Caller  [http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/05/hillarys-national-lead-over-sanders-is-all-gone/]).

Neff's article continued with this:  "....   Notably, the latest result wipes out a massive 31 point lead Clinton had the last time Quinnipiac polled the race in late December, suggesting her narrow and controversial victory in the Iowa caucuses could have tremendously sapped her momentum...."
There was a similar story in "The Hill" ( See "Poll: Sanders nearly tied with Clinton nationwide" by Bradford Richardson, 2/5/16, The Hill [http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/268362-sanders-tied-with-clinton-nationwide-poll]).

So far, the mainstream media is treating this as a normal event and hardly worth a second look.

Well Gale you are sorta close on what you & the MSM missed.

Chuck Todd (no relation to Jim Dodd) asked Hillary if she would release the transcripts of her high paid speechs. She said "I don't know the status. I'll have to look into it".

You missed that? Or, has the Clinton foundation bought you off?

RESPONSE: THE "BOY, DON'T I WISH..." EDITION

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I GET THAT THIS "TRANSCRIPT ISSUE" HAS A BIT OF A SMELL TO IT -- AFTER ALL, WHAT COULD HILLARY HAVE SAID TO THE GOLDMAN SACHS FOLKS THAT SHE HAD TO HAVE 100% CONTROL OVER ANY TRANSCRIPTS AND/OR RECORDINGS

However, unless there is a leak of the transcript or a swag recording, we'll probably never find out.

BTW, do you have any clues as to how one gets on the list to be bought off by the Clinton Foundation.

Oh yeah right. Sealed transcripts by the court of Goldman Sachs. Makes a lot of sense.

QUERY: THE "WHO'S PRETENDING HERE" EDITION

Somebody is speaking out of turn and probably disingenuously here....

It has to be somebody who was born in a cabbage patch and then went to law school -- OR -- somebody pretending to be both of those things.

Let's see when and if we ever see transcripts of Hillary's Goldman speeches, or even better recordings and/or video....

Why are you not reporting on what happened in the Bklyn GOP court fight this week. Word on Courtstreet is that Eaton and Ferraro took a big hit.

Attorneys for both sides in the Eaton/Ferraro case have agreed to adjourn matters till.

Attorneys for both sides have stipulated to adjourn all matters till they get paid.

Stock up on the ginger ale for the next county committee meeting.

BACKFILL: THE "EVERYBODY IS A CYNIC THAT THINKS THEY CAN BE A COMIC WHEN THEY SHOULD BE TRYING TO BE CIVIL & CIVIC-MINDED REPUBLICANS" EDITION

BROOKLYN GOP LEADERSHIP CASE IN BROOKLYN SUPREME COURT BEFORE HON. EDGAR G. WALKER, JSC, WAS ADJOURNED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ALLOW BOTH SIDES TO WORK THINGS OUT -- OR -- COMPLETELY RESPOND TO THE OTHER SIDE'S ARGUMENTS AND ASSERTIONS PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF THE PARTIES' MOTIONS TO THE COURT


Based on a brief conversation with my source, who's with the Brooklyn GOP leadership team behind Chairman Ferraro --- on February 4th, Judge Walker admonished ALL SIDES to the dispute that it was probably in everybody's interests to "SETTLE THE CASE" among themselves. Since such a settlement was not forthcoming, the court directed everybody to submit such additional opposition papers as might be necessary to address ALL the points and factual allegations raised by the other side within two weeks of 2/4/16. The case was then adjourned, but no adjourn date was listed on the Ecourts Civil website.
