“He’s here for the people, I think we need some compassion in America right now”, said Norwich, VT resident Lulu Fairclough-Stewart.

This time around, Clinton entered the race after significant buildup from fans, celebrities and other politicians urging her to run.
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos this week, Hillary took shots at Bernie Sanders over health care, which is a fair thing to do when you have policy differences, but it was the way she did it that rankles.
“Anything personal, we don’t do that in our side of the debate”, Clinton said.
The Monmouth University poll registered Sanders holding a 53 percent to 39 percent lead over Clinton, a 14-point lead between the contenders in the Hawkeye State.
Interestingly enough, Sanders is actually winning white Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters in this poll – 46 percent of them pick him, and 44 percent pick Clinton. “We talked about how close this was going to be in (Iowa and New Hampshire)”.
Clinton denied that was the case and said she has nothing negative to say about him. Apparently she’s not concerned that she’s running for the nomination from a party who rejected her in 2008 partly because of her support for the Iraq war. The former secretary of state told Fallon that she usually doesn’t watch the debates live because she loves “to be able to fast forward” through them. A new NYT/CBS poll this week showed Clinton with her smallest lead nationwide (Clinton 48 percent, Sanders 41).
In response, Clinton noted that Sanders’ campaign hasn’t revealed details about what his health care proposal would cost.
During a press conference Thursday night, Sanders denied the Clinton campaign’s assertion that this line was an attack on Clinton. And, like Obama in 2008, Sanders has been a true “movement leader” in the Democratic party.
“We were particularly surprised because he had personally pledged and his campaign had pledged to never run a negative advertisement”.

The primary fight between the two campaigns has grown increasingly heated in recent weeks, as Clinton and Sanders remain locked in a competitive race in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Seventy-three percent of black Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters say they support Clinton, and just 12 percent support Sanders.
