Alabama Democratic Presidential Primary
Alabama: Clinton 46% Obama 41%

Hillary Clinton’s lead over Barack Obama in Alabama has fallen ten points in a week.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, conducted Thursday night, found Clinton attracting 46% of the vote while Obama earned 41%. Seven percent (7%) said they would vote for some other candidate while 6% are not sure.

Eight days earlier, Clinton enjoyed a 43% to 28% lead. In between, of course, was Obama’s huge victory in South Carolina including high-profile endorsements from the daughter and brother of martyred President John F. Kennedy. Those events changed the tone of the race for the Democratic nomination. Obama has gained ground nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll and in several states including California and Massachusetts (see summary of Super Tuesday polls).

2. I expect Clinton and Obama to split this delegation pretty evenly

It's all about the delegates

3. This is a real horse race.

And it looks like it's going down to the wire.

I'm glad the candidates are stressing unity. The intense competition is good to prepare the candidate who wins for the general, as long as it doesn't give ammo to the other side. If McCain is elected, we might as well kiss our butts good-by.
