At this stage, Hillary is running scared. A rerun of the national polls after New Hampshire will give us a better idea if Hillary's reversion to the "change" message resonates, she her campaign thus far has been all about experience (in the same old Washington corporate run politics).

Hillary sure must be running scared -- and with reason: Obama is likeable, cuts across as the ultimate American in the sense that he's of mixed race, which if exploited properly, is something that could ensure him the black vote, the middle of the ground and many of of the voting population from the upper middle ground.

But difficult to put a good, intelligent woman down -- expect Hillary to bounce back. As I've said,  Bill Clinton, who was once tagged the "first black president" of the US, is still a vote getting force to reckon with. Pundits are saying on that he's still capable of drawing the black votes for his wife.

Obviously, Hillary will have to work double or treble time to catch up, i.e., attictude change. But at this point, nobody should count her out of the running, not even with the 'catastrophic' survey ratings she's getting a couple days away from the NH primary.
