Tied at 40%

Now this is interesting.

The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Connecticut’s Democratic Presidential Primary shows the race couldn’t possibly get any closer. New York Senator Hillary Clinton attracts 40% of the vote and so does Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

Wasn’t the Northeast supposed to be made impenetrable by anyone challenging Hillary Clinton?

What Will Wednesday Bring?

All signs point to a Giuliani withdrawal from the race for the GOP presidential nomination. He says he’ll decide on Wednesday.

What Did I Miss?

Got stuck at work, then traveled home at 5 mph in ice and snow. As such, I missed the State of the Union address. I’ll have to watch it later. Until then, this is a great place to go to find a wide range of reaction.

Hillary Quote of the Day

When asked to respond to the recent endorsements for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton repeated the usual cadre of talking point pablum. In the shadow of Obama’s trouncing in South Carolina, a reported asked Hillary about polls showing a tightening of the race in Arizona. In response, she offered up this gem.

“I don’t pay much attention to polls.”

Ummm, pardon me for a moment.

Heh. Heh heh.

Hillary.Doesn’t.Pay.Attention.To.Polls.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!

Someone should ask Dick Morris to comment on that one.

Perhaps it was Joseph Smith?

Here’s what makes the news on a Friday afternoon.

MSNBC blames Romney whisper on microphone malfunction

The whisper that could be heard just before an answer from Mitt Romney at Thursday’s Republican debate was the result of a microphone malfunction, an MSNBC spokesman tells RAW STORY, but its source remains a mystery.

Just before Romney answered a question about Ronald Reagan’s 1983 Social Security overhaul, a voice can be heard whispering, either “He raised taxes” or “not raise taxes.” The overheard musing was the result of an open microphone somewhere, but a spokesman said the whisperer has not been identified.

“We heard the same thing you heard,” MSNBC VP for Communications Jeremy Gaines told RAW STORY via e-mail Friday afternoon. “There was obviously an open mike which picked up the whisper, but we have no way of knowing who did the whispering.”

Of course, the implication is that Romney, allegedly wearing an earpiece, was being coached by a staffer speaking into a wireless microphone somewhere in the building.

Puh-leeeze.

Judge for yourself.
