New Hampshire Dem leader is . . . Al Gore
A New Hampshire presidential poll by WHDH-TV and Suffolk University shows that local Democrats prefer Al Gore to any of the current contenders.
Hillary Clinton has a solid lead over the rest of the current Democratic field. The poll, released this afternoon, shows 37 percent of likely
Democratic voters backing Clinton or leaning towards her. Barack Obama was at 19 percent, with both John Edwards and Bill Richardson at 9 percent.
Al Gore, however, could enter the race as the leader. When his name is added, Clinton loses more than a quarter of her support, while Gore is backed
by 32 percent.

I think what is ironic about this is that Al Gore has many Republicans to thank for this unusual lead position. I believe so many have focused on
attacking his GW message that it has renewed public interest in him in a way he would have been unlikely to achieve on his own.
