USA Today/Gallup Poll: Obama erases Hillary's lead! Clinton-45%, Obama 44%

[BluegrassDem]

Now that's what I'm talking about! The polls are trending Obama's way. This is a national poll, but it shows that Obama is making headway with the voters across the country, particularly women!

"In the poll, Clinton led Obama 48%-42% among women, compared with 50%-31% two weeks ago. He reversed her slight lead among men, and completely erased her 21-point advantage among people ages 35 to 64.

Whites backed Clinton 49%-39%, while blacks backed Obama 63%-25%. Both racial gaps were higher than two weeks ago."

1. NYT: Obama's Health Plan Inadequate

Krugman is despondent over Obama's health plan.
This is the last paragraph:
This is the last paragraph:
If you combine the economic analysis with these political realities, here's what I think it says: If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, there is some chance -- nobody knows how big -- that we'll get universal health care in the next administration. If Mr. Obama gets the nomination, it just won't happen.
