Thank you for posting.

Of course you couldn't help digging really deep to come up with something that may or may not be negative.

Obama with big lead in Oregon!

(Clinton leads among rodeo clowns between the ages of 32 and 36, and among sweater warehouse managers with incomes between $50 and $60K - troubling numbers for Obama...)

Earning more than $40,000 a year now makes you "upper income"? Please. TPM really is good for a laugh these days.

The internals show a class divide here: Obama does best among upper-income voters, while Clinton does best among those earning less than $40,000 per year.

Class warfare! Latte! Chablis! Brie! Ummm... I'm running out of hoity-toity French things that Obama wants to force feed the nation, but the point -- since you're obviously missing it -- is that he's nothing but a big, fat, biracial (and by that I mean that he aspires to enslave the white race) Marxist who won't rest until foie gras is on every last school lunch menu.

Have I missed anything?

It will tighten. Future polls will show Clinton ahead especially after she wins IN and NC.

Fair winds and following seas for Hillary.

ABC News' Eloise Harper and Sunlen Miller reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., had to endure cheers for Sen. Barack Obama and boos for the North Carolina governor, who has backed her, at the North Carolina Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Raleigh, N.C., Friday evening -- where both she and Obama spoke.

Toward the end of her speech, Clinton pointed out to the crowd that she thinks she is tough, saying to the crowd, “I am no shrinking violet.”

Clinton, attempting to show that there will be party unity, said, “If Sen. Obama is the nominee, you better believe I'll work my heart out for him.”

The crowd erupted into a chant for Obama, leaving Clinton speechless for a few seconds while she waited for them to finish. During her speech, Clinton also mentioned Gov. Mike Easley, who has endorsed her candidacy, and she was momentarily rendered speechless while the crowd booed him.

In his speech, Obama also preached unity, saying that after the nomination process is over, “This party will come together. If Hillary Clinton were the nominee, I would support her in a heartbeat. And I know that if I am the nominee then she will support me.”

But he again criticized Clinton over her support of a national gas tax holiday, suggesting that Clinton is not being honest with the American people about the real savings they would receive under the proposal she backs along with Sen. John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee.

"For us to suggest that 30 cents a day for three months is real relief, that that's a real energy policy, means that we are not tackling the problem that has to be tackled," Obama said. "We are offering gimmicks. When we are offering the same thing that John McCain is offering on the cheap, that means that we're not presenting a truthful response to the challenges that we face in America.”

This is more an east-west divide than a racial divide.

Well I am guessing this lead is due to the gigantic African American population in Oregon. Thank goodness there are none of those white voters that Obama has so much trouble with living in Oregon. Whew!

****snark****

We'd love to put Obama over the top, but isn't strange — in every national election since 1952 those who need a progressive Democrat most are among the least likely to vote for one. I guess we can put Hillary in a class with Huey Long and Adam Clayton Powell, among others, as one of those pols who connects with those they are least likely to care about or help.

Just got back from canvassing in SE Portland- knocked on 76 doors, many not home but of those we id'ed, 10 were firm Obama, 3 Hillary and several undecided. This was a mixed income, working class/student/bohemianish type neighborhood. Only semi-latte-ish, at best.

FWIW....

Obama HQ abuzz with young staffers and volunteers....

We'll go out again tomorrow.

RaeK- That one poll that said that Hillary was ahead in NC was several days ago by Insider Advantage. The next day they had - and still have- Obama leading by five.

That was the only poll that showed her ahead out of what - maybe 12 ?

She ain't gonna win NC. I can tell you that.

And Zogby has up him one in IN today. Word on the ground that momentum for here there has stalled. We shall see.

I agree, this will be a pretty good win for Obama. He will need it given he is going to trounced in KY & WV.

I think IN is going to be a lot closer than people think, maybe even an Obama win. One of the benefits of being a neighboring state to IL is the ground game. A lot of his homestate supporters are flooding IN. I think that was a big reason why he won WI by more than people thought - a massive GOTV effort and a lot of personal contact with his canvassers.
I know several people who have gone - and I live in a Repub suburb of Chi, not to mention a pretty active online community for Obamanites around here that is doing pretty well at getting people to volunteer.

And here is a second. I am a professional, educated at ivy league undergraduate and graduate universities, I have children, and live in the South, earning over $100,000 per year, and I support Hillary Clinton with every fiber in my body. I can't say that I am ready to vote for McCain in the fall, but I have realized that I can't vote for Obama and the painfully divisive coterie that he has implicitly, if not explicitly, encouraged in order to get him where he is today and that feels to me exactly like the gloating, bullying masses who put George W. Bush in the White House in 2000 with the same "delegates trump the people" anti-democratic theory. I, like my spouse, my four siblings, my parents, and so very many friends, have gone from proud and optimistic to nauseous and discouraged thanks to Obama and his threatening, un-Democratic supporters.

BTW I too have some fancy graduate degrees but I don't see the relevance of them to this conversation. It's not like someone is going to win by carrying the Wharton vote.

Clinton is running one main ad here in Oregon about how she is a "fighter". This might work in the Rust Belt but I don't think it resonates with Oregonians. Most of the population is in Portland and Eugene, both very liberal and well educated: Obama's demographic. Clinton is trying to appeal to rural Oregon which is for the most part Republican. She's going to get her ass kicked here.
