Obama, Clinton Are Even In Poll
Hang on it is going to be a bumpy ride


Two days before voters in 24 states go" to their polling places, 47 percent of likely Democratic voters said they back Clinton and 43 percent said they support Obama, with neither candidate decisively benefiting from the departure of former senator John Edwards (N.C.) from the race. By contrast, McCain's wins in primaries in South Carolina and Florida and the winnowing of the Republican field have had a dramatic result: The senator from Arizona is now the clear front-runner for his party's nomination."

1. Interesting that Edwards leaving hasn't had a huge impact on the race
This is going right to the wire though, that's for sure!

3. I'm in the process of reading an article...
...in the NYTimes Magazine, about the delegate counts.

I need to do further reading, but it sounds like it's going to be
almost impossible for either Obama or Clinton to win handily in
California, due to the system of dividing up the delegates.

Unless someone totally runs away with it, California is pretty
much going to be split down the middle.

That makes things even more interesting...
