7. Interesting part here

They roughly split the health care issue, Obama leads on the war, and takes foreign policy 44-19%. All three issues Clinton is trying to run strong on.

Clinton and Obama supporters also differ sharply over what issue concerns them the most.

“The Obama supporters are the voters whose greatest concern is the war and foreign policy,” DiCamillo said. “Clinton supporters are more likely to be concerned about the economy and health care.”

Voters who think the war in Iraq is the most important issue prefer Obama, 47 percent to 38 percent. Voters who believe that foreign policy in general is the most important favor Obama, 44 percent to 19 percent.

When it comes to jobs and the economy, those voters support Clinton, 61 percent to 29 percent. Voters who believe health care is the most important issue were more evenly split – 48 percent for Clinton and 42 percent for Obama.

3. MSM reports Hillary is leaving SC today and going to California, which

indicates to me that she is in trouble. CA is supposed to be her firewall. It was supposedly all wrapped up for her there; a done deal.

One would think she should be in Missouri or some other Super Duper Tuesday state. So ... she's in CA to fundraise because she is running out of money? Or her support there is waning?

Any way you look at it, she's worried.

5. nope, not in trouble

she's quite happy to have Obama expend his time and energy on SC -- where he holds a double digit lead -- to move and consolidate her support and her leads in the overwhelmingly delegate rich Super Tuesday States. The window between the two contests is fairly small, so he'll have a lot of catching up to do in all but three of those States (she has comfortable leads in most of them where he only has leads in CO, GA and his home State of Illinois) once he, as expected, wins SC.

4. High undecided.

I'd imagine Clinton's support is soft too.

8. Obama

Some facts to remember.Obama and Hillary are split on non super delegates(although Obama Is starting
to get more of them than he had before) with all the Clinton machine In new Hampshere Obama came very close to her(part of the reason she won was some of the Edwards supporters there switched to her) and In Nevada she had the machine of the party behind her,and was often ahead by 20 or more points and Obama only lost by 6.California too Is tightening.One poll had him behind by 4.And one poll even had him getting closer In Florida.The race Is not over despite what some want us to
believe.
