Conservative columnist and D.C. mainstay Robert Novak had a little to say recently about America's Senator.
HILLARY'S LEAD
Democratic insiders who are not neutral in the presidential race do not take seriously the USA Today/Gallup poll of Democratic voters showing Sen. Hillary Clinton 23 percentage points ahead of Sen. Barack Obama. They contend national surveys are meaningless because outcomes of the early state contests are still critical.State polls show a virtual three-way tie among Clinton, Obama and former Sen. John Edwards in Iowa's early caucuses. Clinton has only a narrow lead over Obama in New Hampshire's opening primary. Obama has moved slightly ahead in the latest survey for South Carolina, the next primary state.
Obviously this is ridiculous. Check the latest numbers from realclearpolitics.com (RPC):

So, does this look like an even race? I don't even think this looks like a fair fight. The groundswell from the real people in salt-of-the-Earth middle-America is just amazing. It's a phenomenon, really.
