Rasmussen Daily Tracking: Clinton +1, Obama +2 but
here's the thing:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama inching closer to Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. It’s now Clinton 43%, Obama 37%. A week ago, Clinton had an eleven point advantage, 41% to 30%.


Yesterday: Clinton 42%, Obama 35%

1. Rasmussen is a Rethug machine and its findings are moot

3. A prime example of: "if the poll doesn't go my way, I'll label it and pretend it doesnt exist"
Come on now, there are plenty of other polls that show Hillary ahead but Obama trending strong. None of the polls can predict what's going to happen in this election, whether they be Dem or Repug.

2. There's no doubt that he has the momentum right now
What's going to be the deciding factor is how many states he can pull the win and how many he can cut significantly into her lead to secure a portion of delegates. If he accomplishes this he will be a tough foe in the remaining states.

My fear is that it's going to come down to Super Delegates deciding this thing. That's the absolute worst thing that could happen as it will completely divide our party and give credence to the notion that our votes (and our voices) don't count.

4. If primary schedule weren't so front-loaded, to Monster Tues, Obama would have a MUCH better chance
I have been making this point now for many weeks, though haven't seen any of the many pundits address it this way. If someone HAS a link to this point as the theme of SOME commentator, I would be interested.

:applause:
