"Clinton will not be able to win the nomination"
In its latest talking points memo, the Obama campaign takes advantage of a media moment.

    That's called spin, my friend.

    Spin this one: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/democratic_presidential_nomination-191.html#charts

    Hillary peaked last fall and has oscillated around 45% ever since. Not bad, but not quite good enough.

    Also, these national polls are largely meaningless, in terms of picking a nominee. They are also largely meaningless in terms of predicting the winner next November. Two months ago, Obama was polling at 25% in the Dem race. Last September, McCain and Huckabee, the last men standing for the GOP, polled at 15% between the two (McCain under 11, Huck at 4.5). Things change.

    I don't have a big problem with Hillary hanging in there for awhile longer. There's some benefit with keeping the hate machine tied up with two targets. But it would be good to get things tied up ahead of the convention.
