I like that Bill B participates in his comment threads.
This is the first election I’ve tried to follow polls on more than a glancing basis. It’s not a simple or exact business. For instance, Rasmussen also reports that a week ago that Obama was even or slightly ahead when matched against McCain. The past couple days Obama is 3 and 4 points behind. He hasn’t rebounded in that poll.
I’ve heard pundits on the right bring up Hillary’s radical left connections. Obama himself hit back on that during the Stephanopoulos questioning on Ayers. But basically there is no reason yet for the right or for McCain to attack Hillary on that basis.
The most obvious person to do so is Obama, but he comes from a sixties radical milieu so he is way too vulnerable there.
