NAT’L POLL UPDATE: CNN’s Political Ticker reports:
Hillary Clinton’s Pennsylvania win last Tuesday has clearly given the New York senator a boost in the national polls, the latest daily tracking survey from Gallup suggests.
Clinton and Obama are now dead even at 47 percent among likely Democrats, according the newly released numbers. That number remains unchanged from a tracking poll released Saturday and represents a 5-point gain for Clinton since her Pennsylvania win.

WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton has a better chance than Barack Obama of beating Republican John McCain, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll that bolsters her argument that she is more electable in the fall than her rival for the Democratic nomination.

Having listened to Donna Brazile yesterday on ABC’s This Week, I have to wonder how much negative influence she has on Dean et al., and how much her irrational fervor for Obama drains the DNC’s ability to wake up and do the right thing — nominate the candidate who has A CHANCE of beating John McCain.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is making a stealth play for Oregon, where a primary win next month — combined with her two strongest remaining states, West Virginia and Kentucky — may open up a pathway to the Democratic ticket by convincing superdelegates that she deserves the nomination.
