2008 Democratic Presidential Primary: Obama, Clinton Tied
For the fourth straight week, Illinois Senator Barack Obama has gained ground and he has finally caught New York Senator Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. It's now Obama 32% Clinton 32% and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards holding steady at 17%. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is a distant fourth at 3%. Senators Chris Dodd and Joe Biden each attract 1% support. So does General Wesley Clark.

1. Poll from Jan. 2003
The bottomline is this: these polls are all but meaningless. Perhaps nothing illustrates this point better than looking back at polls from this point in the last election cycle. For example, a Fox News poll conducted in January of 2003 (which was closer to the election than we are now) reported the following results:

Joe Lieberman……29%
Dick Gephardt……15%
John Kerry………..13%
John Edwards…….8%
Al Sharpton……….5%
Howard Dean……..2%

2. But, it is not 2003. it's 2007. Every year is different. 2007 is it's own story.

3. Well, yeh, you are right.
Dean did not have a machine behind him. Just us activists. But it was great while it lasted. Oh, wait, he's still around.
