Barry writes off wright, just like a politician being a politician.

There have been some great posts here at RedState this week, but I have to interrupt with a simple, glaring fact. An AP-IPSOS poll released today has Hillary leading John McCain by nine-points amongst those surveyed.

Helped by independents, young people and seniors, Clinton gained ground this month in a hypothetical match with Sen. McCain, the GOP nominee-in-waiting. She now leads McCain, 50 percent to 41 percent, while Obama remains virtually tied with McCain, 46 percent to 44 percent.

Granted, it is an almost-meaningless post-Pennsylvania snapshot of a moment-in-time, but it gives Hillary and Mark Penn/Geoff Garin and Terence McAuliffe another excuse to keep bleeding on the Obama campaign. She is probably the Democrat with the best chance to defeat the war hero during wartime, but she is not going to be the nominee. Period. The superdelegates won't be seen to "steal the election from Obama," as that will bring us riots in Denver amongst the delegates, not just the lefty protesters outside.

Obama has his own problems.

There's a little more below the fold.
