Via Drudge comes a new American Research Group poll that shows Hillary opening a huge lead over Barack Obama in the Keystone State:
Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 48% to 44% among men (45% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 64% to 31%.
Clinton leads 64% to 29% among white voters (82% of likely Democratic primary voters). Obama leads 79% to 18% among African American voters (14% of likely Democratic primary voters).
Clinton leads 52% to 43% among voters age 18 to 49 (50% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads 62% to 31% among voters age 50 and older.
10% of all likely Democratic primary voters say they would never vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary and 24% of likely Democratic primary voters say they would never vote for Barack Obama in the primary.
23% of likely Democratic primary voters say that excessive exposure to Obama’s advertising is causing them to support Clinton.
More to come, I’m sure.

Interesting. I have no idea who will get the Democratic Party’s nomination, but I think it is safe to say that that superdelegates will have to decide the issue. That is so funny. The party that proclaims itself the party of the common man has superdelegates.
No matter what they decide, the superdelegates will likely PO large numbers of the rank and file their own party, all because they wanted to be superdelegates. How will they get themselves out of this mess?

Wow, what a turnaround. He’s below where he was after the bump to HC from TexOhio. Over a month worth of progress gone in a weekend. I can see John McCain ROTF LHAO right now.

Tom,
They, the superdelegates, can’t get themselves out.
Since at least TexOhio, it has been mathematically impossible for either candidate to win the nomination solely with pledged delegates.
The superdelegates will have to do their job whether they like it or not

It’s been interesting to see the press and broadcast networks finally begin reporting the gaffs and gouges exchanged within the Democrat primary with a fervor commonly reserved only for roughing up Republican and/or Christian thinking candidates. IMHO Senator Obama is the kind of candidate who, the more is known about him, the more noticable the unpleasant odor in the room becomes. Senator Clinton is a know quantity…and that is, a glaring example of someone who is severely allergic to telling the truth. John McCain is, I believe a man of decent character, but not the right person for the job. Maybe there isn’t a right person for the job. Maybe the Presidency has become an untenable position by nature, an unsolvable puzzle. It’s obvious that between the two major political parties there IS at least one common denominator: Securing political power at ANY cost. Our two party system has become a millstone around the neck of democracy and, in future history books (if they exist, and are written objectively), will rightly be viewed as a major player in the destruction of virtually everything the Founding Fathers held dear.
