What if it's a two-man Democratic race?

“For a year everybody was told this contest is between him (Obama) and her (Clinton),” Trippi argued. “And during that year, the national audience has learned quite a bit about him, most of it amazingly good: amazing speaker, incredibly inspirational — and yet where is he nationally? He’s at 25 percent. The Rasmussen Poll, which is the only national one I’ve seen since Iowa, has him at 25. I’ll tell you why: They have massive doubts about this guy — on their own.”

In other words, even without advertising from Edwards pointing out flaws in the Obama image or record, many Democratic voters have doubts about Obama.

“If you were going to fall under his spell, wouldn’t you have done it by now?” asked Trippi.

Seventy percent of the Iowa Democratic vote went against Clinton last week, but another way of reading the same data is that 62 percent voted against Obama and 70 percent voted against Edwards.
