New York Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton speaks with reporters after a campaign rally in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA, 06 January 2008. The New Hampshire primaries are scheduled to be held on 08 January 2008. EPA/STEFAN ZAKLINFacing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and a find-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing to decide whether or not to contine, or throw her base into another candidate's camp."She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider said exclusively to blogger Matt Drudge. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out.""Her money is going to dry up," Edwards confided, a top source said to Drudge.Reportedly advisor James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state.

To add my two cents to this article, it's interesting to see the break-down of those who support each of the Democratic front-runners. Obama seems to be preferred by independents, and it'll be interesting to see how women will choose between him and Hillary. Check www.projectweightloss.com/ for an interesting and somewhat unusual survey of the characteristics of each of the Democratic candidates' supporters.
