5. Bouno has clearly made some headway closing the gap to 10%

But she has a long ways to go to get it closer. I don't think it has anything to do with Christie as others are suggesting. If she loses big and Obama invests time it will be an embarrassment. As some others suggested sending Bill Clinton in would be a big boost. If I were a strategist I'd do that way before bringing in Obama. Clinton would rally the base and if the polls closed within 5% then bring in Obama.
