The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton essentially even in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Its Obama 46% Clinton 45% (see recent daily results). This reflects an unusually sharp change from yesterdays results when Obama led by eight points and reached the 50% level of support for the first time. Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Last nights results were very favorable for Clinton and it remains to be seen whether this marks a lasting change in the race or is merely statistical noise. Single night results are based upon very small samples and are more volatile than the overall tracking poll.
Looking to November, John McCain now holds a slight lead over both Democrats in the General Election. Its McCain 47% Obama 42% and McCain 46% Clinton 42% (see recent daily results). It appears that Clintons challenges to Obama may be helping McCain at least in the short-term. McCains polling numbers against Obama began improving during the run-up to the hard-fought Democratic Primaries in Ohio and Texas. Obama has a three-percentage point edge over McCain among unaffiliated voters but is currently supported by just 65% of Democrats. By way of comparison, McCain earns the vote from 80% of Republicans.

it’s amazing to actually see some MSM on Obama’s arse over this.
he can’t deny 20 years at a Black Bilbo’s church.....only very stupid folks will buy that
question is how many masochist whites will go along anyhow?
all the shows in the morning are on this....Russert can be tuff if he has the mind to
My thoughts...exactly.
The ‘Rats are in their own “reality” now.
lol
You have things figgered out just right.
Obama is a fraud.
It’s getting to the point where they can’t deny it.
Some of “them” can’t make a living if they deny the truth.
Lordy...I am so thankful for the ‘net, and for talk radio.
We’ll see if the morning shows are reliable.
My guess is that they won’t be...
come on you don’t send a commander in chief to fight in the trenches on the front line. It’s not about bravery...it’s about not being stupid
yeah it should have waited after he brainwashed the whole country and then the republicans will be called racists because it would be clear that they were the ones who brought this up.
also we want obama to go after hillary for us so either way they both lose.
OK now Republicans can make cross-over votes for Hussein Obama in the next primaries
Your post #30 is my sentiments exactly.
BTW, love your tagline.
I have to wonder if Hillary's fingerprints aren't on this somehow - maybe someone in her campaign alerted talk radio about Reverend Wright?
It’s conceivable that making blacks angry this election was part of the Marxists’ plan to further balkanize American.
Talk radio knew about Rev Wright and spoke about him before, they just didn’t have the tapes before. It seems the good reverent is so proud of them, as are the parishioners, that they reproduce and seel them at the church!
Hillary cannot catch Che Obama, the way the Dems have designed their primary system is to split the delegates, Hilde needs to win 80% or so of the reminaing delegates to catch Obama, and in Democratic Primaries with heavy Black votes, a 80%-20% blowout in 12 straight states is not going to happen.
This is going to the Convention, meanwhile the Democrats will spend tens of millions in campaign cash trying to win the popular vote to sway the Super Delegates...
Exactly, this is shaping up very much like 1968, a split Democratic Party eats itself and it’s cash based on their racial politics.
As to November, if Obama is the nominee Wright will be hung about his neck, if Hillary is the noinee she will have alienated the Black Vote, a 5% drop in that vote will sink her candidacy like the Titanic...
“This business with the nutty reverend will have much less impact on Obama than the 1992 bimbo eruptions had on Bill Clinton (who still won in 1992).”
I must agree with you. Hardcore BHO supporters are excusing the ‘pastors’ hate speech and BHOs decades long relationship with the usual; it’s the Black experience, he’s (pastor) suffered racism, every other liberal excuse under the sun. This may only affect the Independent supporters and, of course, it inflames HRC backers.
I think the only voters who can see BHO for who and what he really is never intended to vote for him in the first place. McCain may be far from the perfect Conservative nominee, but he must, must win!
Technically true. However Puerto Rico's local Dem leadership customarily pledges their 63 delegates all-or-nothing, presumably to boost their national influence.
Between the flap over Florida and Michigan and now the potential of more of the same in Purto Rico, I have to shake my head in amazement at the way the "rules" are set up by the dems. Could you imagine a baseball game being played this way?
Hillary and Obama are the two managers and they meet with the umpires at home plate before the game.
Umpire: the right field wall has a line painted on it. Anything hit above the line is a home run. On or below the line and the ball is in play.
Hillary: Well that doesn't seem fair. It should depend on which team is at bat.
Obama: Agreed. First, let's see who hits the ball. Then we can all come on the field and argue, metaphysically, about fairness.
Umpire: Okay. Now if the gate to the bullpen accidentally opens and a ball bounces through it--
Hillary: Who hit it?
Obama: Don't even go there.
Good personal hygiene, according to Sen. Biden.
Right now Hillary! and B. Hussein Obama will continue to clobber each other, ensure whichever candidate wins will be wounded and have less money.
Similarly, this helps pre-convention Republican fundraising.
The best possible result is a situation where the Democrats significantly damage their party. The next best situation is one where either candidate is so divisive as to be unwinnable.
I bet if Hillary gets the nomination, huge numbers of blacks and young swooners will be disaffected. Look for poor voter turnout in the general election for the democrats.
