Reset

Well, after almost a week of breathless coverage of the whole "bitter" thing, the early evidence coming in seems to be that next to no one not on TV gives a damn about this latest "controversy." Obama is holding up in polling, both in Pa and nationally. (LATimes, Local poll, Quinnipiac, Rasmussen and Gallup national tracking.) So, what was all that for?

Looking at the ABC/WaPo poll released today, Obama's relative electability has shot way up, and Clinton's personal ratings have gone down.

This week gave the impression of the Clinton campaign throwing everything as hard as they can at Obama, and yet he came out of it the same, if not better than she did. I think we have to ask the question of whether this latest flareup may mark the end of the Clinton hopes. She spent alot of her capital on this, and doesn't appear to have gained anything.

Where is the Clinton number for next Tuesday. In the wake of all this, how big a win does she now need to prove her case?

Any evidence that this week helped her among superdelegates?

There's a debate tonight.
