It's
time for Democrats to start a Draft Hillary campaign for the 2012
election, beginning with a write-in campaign in New Hampshire, write two
Democratic pollsters on Politico. Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen called on President Obama to step aside
last month, saying Clinton would make a far stronger candidate in 2012
and then president going forward. Now they are taking their Clinton push
to the next level, asking Democrats "with resources and stature" to
lead the write-in movement for the Jan. 10 primary.
Since
1944, an incumbent president has had an approval rating below 49% only
five times while attempting to get re-elected—and each time that
president lost, they write. Obama currently has a 49% approval rating,
the worst of any modern president at this point in his presidency.
Citing the repeated candidate surges in the GOP contest, Caddell and
Schoen say that grass-roots efforts are driving the political process,
making a grass-roots campaign more plausible than ever, especially in
New Hampshire "where grass-roots politics predominates." "All that is
needed is a spark on the dry tinder of political frustration and
anxiety," they write. "A few Democratic patriots can provide the means
to make it possible—and change the course of US history."
