Senator Clinton wants to downplay her MONSTER lead in the National Polls went on record as saying she does not see herself as a frontrunner (in Iowa), and acts as if she's 10-20 points behind each and every day. Good for you Hillary...now, let me give you a wake up call. Try acting like a Senator to the citizens of New York, instead of taking us for granted. Maybe your rivals for the Democratic nod will take a clue and start paying us some attention, instead of pandering to a small population in some Midwestern State that most Americans don't really care about...no offense to Iowa, but lets be serious here, how many electorial votes do they really have? (For those interested, think it is seven.)DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) – Democratic White House hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, said Saturday that she looks at her campaign as if she were "ten or twenty points behind."
Clinton–ahead in the latest national polls by as much as 30 points–made the comments to reporters when asked if she considers herself the frontrunner in Iowa, a state where she holds a much smaller lead.
"No," Clinton said. "I consider myself someone who's working as hard as I can everyday to earn the support of Iowans, and that's what I'm going to keep doing."
"I'm well aware that no one has voted. No one has caucused. We have a long way to go before that happens and I don't take anything for granted."
In the latest Des Moines Register poll among 399 likely Democratic caucus goers Clinton was in the lead in the Hawkeye State with 29 points. Former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, sat at 23 points, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois followed closely with 22. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
