Barry O only needs to communicate 'informed and mature', not most seasoned. He'll win with speeches (and Axelrod's organization). Because he is the candidate of 'a new day'. HRC is smart and informed but I do believe that very few people want to extend the Bush/Clinton years. Edwards has aged well and wisely since '04 but poverty doesn't sell and he was the butt of the best zinger. And poor Bill Richardson, who I really like, just exudes 'flop-sweat' and desperation.
CNN viewers poll gave the nod to BO, 35% to HRC's 30% (Daily Kos readers picked Edwards)
That having been said, let's post this from Political Wire:
Clinton and Obama Neck-and-Neck
Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL) are essentially tied in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new USA Today/Gallup Poll.
Obama beats Clinton "by a single percentage point, 30% to 29%, if the contest includes former vice president Al Gore." Without Gore, Clinton bests Obama by a single point, 37% to 36%. Gore comes in third with 17%, while John Edwards pulls 11% with the former vice president included and 13% otherwise.
However, a new Rasmussen Reports poll gives Clinton an eight-point edge over Obama, 34% to 26%, with Edwards drawing 15%.
On the Republican side, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) leads with 32%, followed by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) with 19%, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R) with 12%, and former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN) with 11%.
