Ladies and gentlemen, the tide has turned. What seemed perhaps impossible a few months ago now looks to be the reality. Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008. The proof is in the numbers. On Tuesday, Obama won landslide victories in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C., along the way beating Clinton in her stronghold demographic of older, white women and low-income families. He's now ahead in the national delegate count for the first time ever. (After Iowa, he was still down when counting superdelegates) And, most importantly, he's now beating Clinton in national polls. The Rasmussen poll that I've been looking at every single day for the past year now has Obama with 46% of national Democratic voter support, while Clinton has 41%. This is the first day ever that this major national poll has Obama winning, and its not the only one. Gallop, Time, and Newsweek all have polls out now that show Obama with the most national support. Three months ago, the man was written off as a fad. He was briefly given a chance after Iowa, only to have that chance taken away after New Hampshire. But mark my words, this guy is the real deal, and he's going to be President.
