Get ready for the “Hill-a-copter”

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 14, 2007 11:08 AM

Hillary’s going to fly across Iowa this weekend on a “Hill-a-copter.” Because it’s too cold for the broom, I guess. I kid, I kid. (Insert cackle here.)

The Clinton campaign today announced the “Every County Counts Tour - Working For Change, Working For You,” a five-day, 99-county campaign blitz through Iowa that will start on Sunday, December 16th in Council Bluffs. During the tour, Hillary and her surrogates will mobilize and organize supporters across Iowa, while reaching out to undecided caucus-goers. Hillary Clinton, herself, will campaign in 16 counties in the state in a chopper, called the Hill-A-Copter. Top campaign surrogates, including President Bill Clinton and others, will fan across the state to rally Hillary’s caucus-goers.

Better watch out for that Ron Paul blimp.

Meantime, latest NH poll shows Obama edging ahead:

Barack Obama has come from behind to turn the Democratic presidential race in New Hampshire into a toss-up, according to a new Monitor opinion poll. The results - which show Obama with a one-point edge over Hillary Clinton - mirror other polls released this week, indicating that Clinton’s once-imposing lead has evaporated in the run-up to New Hampshire’s Jan. 8 primary.

The poll suggests that the Democratic race could hinge on the turnout of undeclared voters, who aren’t registered with either political party. Much of Obama’s backing comes from undeclared voters, while registered Democrats make up the bulk of Clinton’s support. In New Hampshire, undeclared voters can vote in either party primary, giving them sway in both contests.

“The more undeclared voters that decide to vote in the Democratic primary, the better chance Obama wins,” said Del Ali, president of Research 2000, the Maryland-based nonpartisan polling firm that conducted the poll for the Monitor on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. “What Hillary Clinton has to hope is that more of the established Democrats come out to vote.”

    let’s hope it is a dying campaign. let’s hope it continues to die and quickly. just cannot stand to think of seeing her for a full year all the way through to 08. i think i could handle obama over her as the dem candidate as far as just ‘watching’.

    the butt any day now. With Shaheen firing himself, I hear the purge is about to
    start if things don’t start looking up and soon. Seems Slick is beside himself at

    Love those photosjrl. I just read the even the Drudge Report that has been on pretty good terms with her camp lately is wondering if she is a
    Humpty Dumpty and is poised for a fall. The article talked about the fact that her
    supporters in Iowa are older than Obama’s and may not come out to vote if the
    weather is nasty. Said the defining photo of Iowa could be a 78 yr old woman being
    dragged out of her home, in a snowstorm, by a young Clinton supporter to an SUV
    with tinted windows.

    You could be right there Barry. A port-o-john has purpose, looks good, and needs money to be maintained, but is usually stuck on one position that nobody likes and smells bad.
    Yep, that sounds like John Edwards.

    If someone’s ability to be elected as the President of a Super Power, in this case, to become essentially the most powerful person on the planet, is dependent primarily on the weather report for the day of the election, I don’t think that is someone who needs to be anywhere near the presidency.

    If you want to understand the Clintons, read The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald. The Clintons are exactly like the Tom and Daisy Buchanan characters that Scott Fitzgerald so loathed. At the end of the book, Fitzgerald describes how the Buchanans destroyed lives and then moved on, indifferent to the consequences of their conduct. That is the Clintons to the max. The Clintons thought they could do this to Barack Obama. I don’t agree with Barack Obama on the issues. But he is really the first public figure who has not been intimidated by the Clintons and refuses to allow the Clintons and their network of Carville/Begala, CNN, Hollywood and the 3 networks to destroy him. For that Senator Obama has my greatest admiration.

    I think you’re right. In this context, though, the copter doesn’t play that way. It comes off as presumptuous.

    She should have just tooled around in a campaign bus like an ordinary candidate. How the hell does she expect to make a connection with the ordinary folks in Iowa by arriving like a celebrity in a helicopter?
