Did Hillary lead Obama in any national polls.
I know she won some big states late but I don't recall her leading in any national polls but I very well could be wrong

4. Thank you

for the link

5. and, in fairness, Clinton did make a big deal about that

and how she was the best person to take on John McCain, and lobbied superdelegates to that effect.

6. I would too

because she was also if I remember correctly she has wining big towards the end
she won my state Cali by 10 points

7. yes, she destroyed him in contests in May--Kentucky and West Virginia.

65-28 point margins.

And there was the talk of momentum, and why can't Obama close her out, and isn't it this a sign the voters have changed their minds.

8. yeah good points

I am Bernie supporter and I can give out as good as I get but sometimes actually most of the time I like good discussion
So with Obama as it is with Bernie it really is the math

9. most important lesson from 2008 is that momentum between

states is virtually non-existant in a two-person race.

candidates can certainly develop momentum within a state, but that has nothing to do with what happens in other states.
