Note the trend...where there was one a wide margin for HRC, its now well within the margin of error nationally between Clinton and Obama.

2. Been thinkin that for some time now
Watching him now makes me sad. It's like he's turning into Ralph Nader or something. Can't resist the spotlight, trouble sitting on sideline when it is somebody else's turn on the field.

3. Gotta Give HRC Props For This, Too
And then there's the loyal Clinton fan base on DU - they must be good for a few points...

7. Bill has no effect on Hillary's campaign at all.

8. The polling data was from the 12-14th. With 202 black respondants out of 1,130 adults.

I don't see anything there other than tightening due to normal election cycle stuff. AND it's almost two week old data. Thats forever in polling.

9. In other words, Obama's name is equalizing with hers.
Soon, he'll overtake her, since that's what she was running on.
