Clinton, Obama dead even for fifth straight day

(CNN) — For the fifth straight day, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are statistically tied in Gallup's national tracking poll, the latest indication the Democratic stalemate shows no signs of ending four months after the primary season began.

Clinton holds a one point lead over Obama in Tuesday's tracking poll — a statistical tie, given the poll's 3 point margin of error. In the last five days, the two candidates have either been exactly tied or separated by only one point.

That trend marks a clear departure from the weeks before the Pennsylvania primary, during which Obama almost consistently held a wide lead over Clinton. Meanwhile, the five-day tie is one of the few times all year in which the two candidates have been deadlocked for more than two days.

1. No doubt half the Democrats will be accused of being DLC-enabling

corporatist supporting, warmongering, not real Democrats,... ad nauseum.

2. This will favor Hillary a bit, then swing heavily toward Obama

Now that he has put the Rev Wright issue to bed.

Even Joe Scarborough says that you'll see a big break in Obama's direction in the next week or two. I only mention this because I believe it to be true.
