Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are running neck-and-neck in California, New Jersey and Missouri two days before the sprawling "Super Tuesday" presidential showdown, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday.
Obama has a slight lead in California and is virtually tied with Clinton in New Jersey and Missouri heading into the biggest day of voting in a U.S. presidential nominating campaign, with contests in 24 states from coast to coast.
...
In the Republican race, Arizona Sen. John McCain has double-digit leads on Mitt Romney in New York, New Jersey and Missouri but narrowly trails the former Massachusetts governor in California, the biggest prize on "Super Tuesday."
Romney leads McCain by 37 percent to 34 percent in California. The poll's margin of error is 2.9 percentage points.
"California could be Romney's last stand," Zogby said. "If he wins there, it may not be a whole new ballgame, but it can give those Republicans who oppose McCain hope they still have a chance to stop him."
And you served where?
As much as I would like to see Obama wipe the floor with Hillary on Super Tuesday, I’m hesitant to see him as the Dem nominee, because he would likely wipe the floor with whomever the GOP runs in November. Young, articulate Obama debating old, crochety McCain? No contest.
You realize that these are people who are, essentially, gambling? These prediction markets follow the days news, not vice versa.
No, not true. they follow the overall trend and that is affected by daily happenings. McCain has the highest value in the history of this campaign season by a lot. People are putting their money on the line as to who they think is going to win based on their judgements of the current political scene.
You forgot to mention that McCain should be running as a democrat.
I respect McCain for his military service and being a prisoner of war. But by the same token, I can’t vote for him because of his liberal stances on so many things! Plus he lies....sorry.
