1. Well, he drew 20,000 in Atlanta just a few months back.
2000 definitely isn't bad, though.

2. The 20000 was at an outdoor event. This was a very small indoor event.
Obama had 25% of all people in the Harkin Steak Fry. Big crowds everywhere.

4. Well, Hillary drew over 2,000 at a small, indoor fundraiser that I was at a couple of weeks ago
so Obama's not doing anything spectacular. Still, he's very much in the race.

6. So fewer than 10%
prefer Hillary over Obama and the nearest primary is four months away. Obama's not doing too bad. Thanks! It is odd, though, the polls you normally post show her with a bigger lead.

13% undecided is quite a substantial number. I wonder to whom they will throw their support. You have to love primary season! :)

7. Would've thought with all the campaigning he's been doing down there...
Obama would have caught up by now...but Hillary's lead has been steady there for months...oh well...Obama will win Illinois (I think)...

10. WEll if you think being down 9 is good...
against an opponent that has barely set foot in the state...shows how low your expectations have gone...

Just a couple months ago everyone was saying Obama was the new frontrunner!!!!
