SPILL-ARY: Sen. Hillary Clinton looks frustrated yesterday amid bad news in the Democratic race.
WASHINGTON - Rising Democratic star Barack Obama has climbed into a statistical tie with Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 race for the White House, according to a poll released yesterday. The Rasmussen Reports national poll shows the front-running Clinton's once-huge lead has evaporated, as 22 percent of likely Democratic primary voters favor the former first lady, compared to 21 percent who back Obama. The survey found older Democrats stick with the name they know, Clinton, while Democrats under 50 flock to the fresh-faced Obama, a 45-year-old first-term senator from Illinois.
John Edwards, the Democrats' 2004 vice-presidential candidate, checked in at third, with 15 percent, while 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore pulled in 7 percent to place fourth. Meanwhile, a new Zogby poll spelled more bad news for Clinton, showing her tied for third with former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack - at 16 percent - in a survey of likely Iowa Caucus goers. Edwards (27 percent) was first, and Obama (17 percent) was second.

I guess I was hoping the GOP could grow a set by then and actually casually refer to him with his middle name in a late-October ad.
So I guess what I'm sensing is that he will get away with ultra-liberal crap that Hillary would never get away with.
Obama = Clinton via '92.
The "dream team" or "dream ticket" is coming, either:
hillarybarack2008 or barackhillary2008
Of course it will end up being the Republican dream ticket once these two extreme liberals are defeated in a landslide.
Agree.
I want Obama to win because I can't stand Hillary's radical feminist war against men.....plus I respect Obama..
