Obama’s Support Softens in Poll, Suggesting a Peak Has Passed
Don't shoot the messenger Obama folks, I'm on your side. This is in today's NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/04/us/politics/04campaign.html?em&ex=1207454400&en=8d54d037b5e28a75&ei=5087%0A

Basically it claims that as far as Democratic support is concerned Obama has maxed out. I really don't know if this should be considered a story at all as it makes sense that Democrats would choose either side by now.

1. I think it has more to do with the lull between primaries.

We're in a holding pattern here.

Momentum will pick up as we get to see more votes occur.

4. It's just another "They're tied [except in delegate numbers and in the popular vote]" article

6. Today's polls have encouraged me.
Sure we're not ahead by ten points, but it looks like Clinton's counter-surge has also peaked, and assuming the trends continue, Obama's gonna have a steady 5 point lead for the time being.

Don't let your guard down, but Hillary is definitely having trouble keeping up.
