And Clinton Takes The Lead

Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton pulled ahead of Barack Obama in polls of likely Democratic Party voters after the Reverend Wright scandal hit the news.  Several days later now, she is maintaining that lead.

Clinton overtook Obama in a daily Gallup tracking poll earlier this week and the latest survey showed her leading the Illinois senator 49 percent to 42 percent in the contest to select the Democratic nominee to face Republican Sen. John McCain in November.

I believe Hillary is going to go into the convention still trailing slightly in delegates.  Between the superdelegates that honestly believe she is more electable because she has momentum, the ones that she can persuade/pressure/blackmail into backing her, and the ones that won't give their vote to a black candidate under any circumstances, she's going to end up with the nomination.

At that point, watch for the sparks to fly and potential civil disturbance from those who think she was "selected, not elected" to the nomination.  As the Reverend Wright might have said, "We reap what we sow."  Of course, he would probably be talking about America being attacked, so it wouldn't be quoting... it would be plagiarism. Maybe that's where Obama learned it from.
