Some Quick Hits

Here are some quick hits from CNN's Political Ticker:

Poll: Clinton lead over Obama shrinking

Clinton has dropped from a 21 point lead in New Hampshire to only 11 points. Look for further erosion as Clinton's campaign scandals play out.

Ron Paul gaining momentum

Last Saturday I was driving up El Toro Road in Lake Forest when we came across a herd of Paul Bearers who were working all four corners at Rockfield (a very busy intersection) with their waving placards and Ron Paul chants. They're enthusiastic, though totally misguided if they think he can win anything.

Obama: I deserve a tax increase

Keep hope alive, Barack, because if any Dem gets elected president, you can count on a tax increase. If you become the nominee, you can count on getting regularly beat about the head and shoulders with this statement.

Biden: If I were president on 9/11…

...it would mean that he finally got all the bugs out of his time machine.
