Obameter: Latest News From the Democratic Front
Well, the news as of late certainly hasn't been good for Hillary. Some of this you'll know, but some may be news to you:
- Gallup shows that Obama is again increasing his lead. He has a 9-point lead nationally, almost equaling his 10-point lead prior to pastorgate.
- The New York Times has featured the latest in a string of articles that demonstrates it is almost impossible for Hillary to win the nomination given the delegate situation. In fact, in the past two months, while she's been wooing superdelegates, Hillary has lost the support of two and Barack has picked up the support of an additional 69 superdelegates.
- The Clinton campaign has lost another leader. Mark Penn, a leading adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1996, quite after apologizing for holding talks with officials from the Colombian government about a bilateral trade treaty with the United States that Mrs. Clinton opposes.
- Polls in North Carolina show Hillary taking a beating from Barack. She had a lead in the state a few months ago, but she is now polling ten to 20 points below Obama in most polls.
- The one bright spot for Hillary this week is that she is still showing strength in Pennsylvania where she desperately needs a win. Her lead there is shrinking, however, and some recent surveys show the race is a dead heat.
