Look at the last three headlines.

Did we awaken a sleeping giant this weekend?

Note to self: Go easier on Election Central in the future, because man, it's posting polls for Hill day today.

(Gallup has Obama back in the lead.)

You realize, of course, that twelve points is more than Hillary's margin in OH or PA.

No doubt, Hillary is counting on Operation Chaos to make the election close.

what will be fun to see is all the headlines of obama being the comback kid, who, when his backs against the wall, pulls out a big victory! right? but instead the reporting will probably be like.. eh..12pt victory? thats all he could do? he cant seem to close this out...

Hillary looks like she will easily win Indiana and now is closing very fast in North Carolina.
I beleive a lot of this has to do with the limpwristed one being to chicken to debate Hillary now after she thrashed him soundly the last time. With Hillary now easily beating McCain, and Obama and McCain deadlocked, this lack of grit has turned many blue collar voters off Oilbama. How any democrat could vote for Dick Cheney's Big Oil bill is beyond me but the media has to look deeper into Big Oil's involvement in Obama's fundraising bonanza.
Hillary's Pennsylvania win last Tuesday has clearly given the New York senator a boost in the national polls, the latest daily tracking survey from Gallup suggests. Clinton and Obama are now dead even at 47 percent among likely Democrats, according the newly released numbers.
Hillary has won the votes, in primaries and caucuses, of 15,112,000 Americans, compared to 14,993,000 for Obama. All this crap about Oilbama leading in delagates is meaningless as unless he gets to 2,025. Hillary is now ahead with the popular vote and Oilbama is sinking like a stone.

Good lord. Did Jerome Armstrong and Taylor Marsh buy TPM over the weekend?

A recent poll from Rasmussen suggests that the Democrats' problem in November might not be white voters, but black voters. From the internals of today's Rasmussen poll (sub. req.):

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows John McCain attracting 46% of the vote while Barack Obama also earns 46%. In a match-up with Hillary Clinton, it's McCain 47%, Clinton 45%. Among White voters, McCain leads Obama by twelve and Clinton by eleven. Among African-American voters, Obama dominates but Clinton attracts just 59% support.
While both Democrats hold equal numbers among white voters, the big discrepancy comes from black voters. Two caveats should be considered. First, the Rasmussen write-up does not include a similar breakout for Hispanic voters, where Clinton has historically outperformed Obama. Second, this attitude might be reflective more of the heated contest underway than the future preferences of black voters.

This is the REAL news of the day. Obama and Clinton garner the same number of white votes against mcCain. But Clinton only polls 59% of the African American vote. Good Luck With That! THAT is catastrophic!

It is over.

hillary doesnt love you back, gotalife.

That's true. It is over. Obama established a lock on the nomination a month and a half ago.

The rest has just been a (protracted, rather painful) endgame.

See ya on the other side, Gotnolife

Well, I hate to be a geek and all but TPM's poll tracker has Perdue v. Obama for NC governor? Sheesh!!

Come on.

No one has done more for North Carolina than Barack Obama.

PPP is dubious to say the least. No one pays them for these "polls", and they are conducting these surveys as self-promotion at best, as sock puppets for who-knows-who at worst.
If you read the blog attached to the PPP web site, you see they are laughable. They undermine any pretense at credibility by taking gratuitous shots at verious campaigns, and describing their results with language such as "I guess" "we think" and "I don't know why our results came out this way."
Unlike other push-button polls such as SurveyUSA, PPP does not explain their methodology.
It would be a mistake to regard PPP "surveys" with any more authority than the "surveys" Lou Dobbs presents on his show every night.

HELLO???? Eric, you might want Obama to be the underdog but as per your poll tracker on the side of the page??? He is not running against Perdue for NC governor which is how it reads. Can you please fix that because it is about to make my geeky head explode. Sheesh, I hate numbers that are written down wrong! Grr..

10% undecided! we know which way they'll break at the end.

Hilarious that TPM's headlines are that Hillary is "holding on" to her lead in Indiana, which is shrinking per the poll cited, while Hillary is "gaining ground" in NC, even though Obama's lead is still substantially outside the margin. Come on, TPM, you're better than that!

Get some more plates ready......the crows done. Yum Yum.

Polls, schmolls. Nothing is going to change the fact that when Hillary wakes up on the morning of June 4 she will still be hopelessly behind in pledged delegates. By then she'll have some other ridiculously contrived metric to claim that her two pair beats Obama's full house, but no one is buying it. Anyone who thinks the superdelegates are going to overturn the results of six months of primaries and caucuses is living on another planet.

Dunno what to say about bias in headlines, but I do know about errors in reporting.........Eric K......please pay attention:
In this post Eric writes, in error:
"The numbers, compared to a week ago:
Obama 51% (-6)
Clinton 39% (+7)"

A week ago the PPP numbers were Clinton 34, Obama 54. So Eric's correction [which I have never seen him do on one of his posts, so don't hold your breath, folks] should be:
"The numbers, compared to a week ago:
Obama 51% [-3]
Clinton 39% [+5]"

So Eric takes a swing of 8 overall points and erroneously makes it into a 13 point swing.

It's time to make clear to the DNC that millions of us will write in Obama's name in November if he's not on the ballot. ABC: Anyone But Clinton.

Post PA primary we see the proud boastful HilLIARy that drives people away and her numbers down.

She just needs to stay in long enough until she implodes.

Stop the BUSH/CLINTON regime!!

What parallel universe do you live in where Obama would be less electable than Clinton?

Its pathetic how someone can be duped into thinking that Obama is an elitist just because he was called an elitist by an elitist. How do you Hillary supporters let her dictate to you who should be called an elitist without analyzing who the statement came from? Does she not fall into that category moreso than Obama, being that she is leaning on the "Clinton namebrand" as her validation of entitlement to the presidency? Obama, on the other hand, epitomizes the phrase "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" and he is a visual example of the "American Dream."
What HRC meant by calling Obama, albeit subtle, was here is an "Uppity nigger" who makes more and lives a better lifestyle than you poor whites because of affirmative action, trying to tell you that he understands you better than me, a white person and then calls you bitter. Which speaks to the white supremacy ideaology, a belief in Appalachia, prevalent amongst poor whites, that whites are superior to blacks and because of their "whiteness" they have a monopoly on gaining economic power and social dominance that should not under any circumstances be afforded to a "black" man. Hence the remarks of "elitist" being dropped by Hillary Clinton, knowing full well how the application of that word was going to affect her targeted audience. Consequently, 12% of people who voted for her, admittedly used race when deciding on who to vote for, that is directly proportional to the margin of her victory in Pennsylvania, as well as Ohio.
This is the type of race baiting in elections that has permeated our history since the slaves were freed and the black man was given the right to vote,it is also proof positive that Hillary will say and do anything to win, no matter how destructive it is to the party or how damaging it is to race relations. She doesn't care about any of that, to her its par for course.Thoughts in Hillary's mind: "The nerve of Barack Obama to threaten to derail my train of inevitability, doesn't he realize he getting in the way of my presidential entitlement. How dare those white voters in small midwestern and western states try to deny me whats rightfully mine? Not to worry though, I still have one more big state left, and it is chock full of poor whites who will be inspired to register and vote for me once I call Barack an elitist and hopefully it will be effective enough to permeate the minds of poor white voters in North Carolina."
To the poor white voters, vote for the things that affect your daily lives, voting against Barack Obama because he is black is not going to improve your lives. If you have not noticed, the current president is white, so how has that benefitted you thus far.
