Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has moved into a significant lead over Barack Obama among Democratic voters, according to a new Gallup poll.

The March 14-18 national survey of 1,209 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters gave Clinton, a New York senator, a 49 percent to 42 percent edge over Obama, an Illinois senator. The poll has an error margin of 3 percentage points.

My bet is that she will not get the nomination and she won't stay in the lead for long. Gone are the days of Clintonian dirty politics and dirty tricks. And gone are the days when Democrats are dumb enough to reinstall an impeached President in the White House - and the woman who suffered the lies and humiliations that spanned those 35 years we keep hearing about. I think the Clintons should stop themselves before they both lose their legacies. Time for new thinking. Time to put the Clintons behind us. Time for character and brains in the White House.

Oh! I don't know if you were watching CNN, but Richardson said what really inspired him was the speech that the Senator gave.... How cool is that?

Obama spoke about his own grandmother.

That is what makes Obama's comment about her being typical - so insensitive to me.

This is a woman who gave part of her life to him.

And he has the stupidity and ungratefullness to call her typical.

He was brainwashed by the black community of his wife and Rev Wright to think he had to make a racial choice.

This is all so different than what Dr King tried to teach us - to judge character, not skin color.

This is reverse racism that we are seeing by black people. This is black nationalism.

They so want a chance to tell us once again about black resentments.

They certainly don't want to hear white resentment.

Good article, it was pretty much what I had heard on the BBC America news here, which I do not think is as accurate as what one might hear in Europe.... still though, thank you......

I am watching the local news here to find out about what exactly happened with our re vote here... but so far all the coverage has been about our very nawtee Mayor.... that in itself is an interesting story, as I think the lawyer heading the attack on him, is a long time rival who has lost the run for mayor and other offices as well.... She is a wicked, wicked woman......

Yes, I read about that and thought about how much your vote would mean to you. Either a pay off
or a threat?

They have said nothing so far on the local news, but I have a feeling it came down to the money.... Hillary had told our legislature that she had arranged private funding through some of her big money supporters.... Yikes!!! So, as Michigan currently has no money, I think they just shrugged their shoulders and gave up.... Oh well.... I can vote for Senator Obama come November... ; ) That will make up for it.... and at least that doesn't give any more delegates either.... so all in all, yes I am disappointed, but hopefully it will all work out in the end....

Jeez.... I just heard on the news... big winter storm coming... on the second day of spring... only about a foot of snow though... not so bad.... Should be really pretty... : )

Guess that speech didn't exactly hit the real people in the same way as many pundits.

Actually.... the Senators speech touched the heart and soul of many people.... and was well received by all those who actually have a heart and soul..... to bad people like you have to piss on it like you do everything else that is good and decent...

I sent it in an email to my Persian(she prefers this term) friend in London and she wrote
back that in this world of hate,bigotry,racism and such,it touched more than anything she
has heard in a very long time. Amen!

That doesn't really make a relevant point. Go hug your Hillary poster. We're interested in facts here.

So who do we think sent those people in to read Obama's passport records?

This may do to get Wright off the headlines. This and Eliot Spitzer being revealed as a whoremonger, that would have done the trick. Eliot could have done the party a big fave by letting his whoremongering come out after this imbecilic kerfluffle over Wright.

I don't think 3 breaches, is a coincidence, or a curiosity. There is something very fishy about this Kev.

Especially since Hillary knew exactly where Senator Obama had been during his travels abroad..... not cool.... I think she had something to do with it, and I hope she gets busted.

Good question. May be nothing. On the other hand, that's how Watergate started. The question is whether there are any Woodwards and Bernsteins out there.

This is a good face lift to HRC. But, we know that face lifts are temporary. We have to see how long this would last.

It seems that a lot of white people had their feelings hurt by Obama's association with Reverend Wright. They are hurt, hurt, hurt! Why didnt he tell us that he was THAT kind of black man before we supported him?!

Damn, now the white people have hurt feelings.
