1. Yess.Good signs!

[countmyvote4real]

2. Good signs of what?

A woman candidate is on par with a man?
A progressive is on par with a centrist?
A black candidate is double digit points behind the two leaders?

Do tell the good story that I could not nail.

5. Hillay, former Wal-Mart board member, is the most neo-conservative Democrat in the race. (nt)

9. Who's the progressive?

It's not IWR, Patriot Act, NCLB-supporting Edwards, that's for sure.

3. IIRC Clark won OK in 2004

Not really a bellweather.

4. Clark was from next door Arkansas, though

OK is not a bellweather and right now the only states that matter are Iowa and NH but it is interesting that HRC is only tied in OK. She usually comfortably leads in state polls outside of the states in which campaigns are spending significant time in right now, namely Iowa, NH, and to a lesser extent, SC>
