The title and substance of this article betray the pd's unspoken bias in favor of hillary.
The "distant" percentages of Edwards and OBama compared to Hillary's 36 percent were 21 and 20---not so hard to type. After iowa---where many believe it is too close to call---the name recognition factor in favor of Hillary will change in Missouri. Even if those figures hold---with proportional representation, Hillary would have less than half the delegates from Missouri. As in many states, she will probably get less than 40 percent of them---and the people who do not like Hillary----REALLY don't like her.
No mention in the pd about Obama's quick response--IN HIS OWN WORDS--to the reports of a whispering scandal campaign regarding him by Hillary's scummy operatives.
She does have an effective healthcare plan---there is a heartwarming video of a man whose son was saved because Hillary made a phone call and convinced a hospital to pay the bill. The father of the kid, not surprisingly, is outraged that candidates such as Obama and Edwards have raised concerns about trust issues.
If you have a medical emergency procedure which will bankrupt your family---call Hillary. She can fix it.

Poll: Obama Takes Lead In Iowa
By Greg Sargent - November 19, 2007, 5:13PM
The new Washington Post/ABC News poll that Dems have been talking about today has finally been released -- and it finds that Obama has edged into a lead over Hillary in Iowa, though the race remains close.
Obama has 30% of likely voters, while Hillary has 26% and Edwards has 22%.
The poll shows that Obama has marginally increased his standing since WaPo's last Iowa poll in August, which found Obama at 27%, with Hillary and Edwards at 26%.
But various findings in today's poll suggest that rival criticism of Hillary might be working. Obama is ahead of her by 2-1 as the most honest and trustworthy candidate. And 55% say that "new ideas" is more important to them in a candidate, while 33% pick "strength and experience." Obama has argued that he's the race's true change agent, while Hillary counters that only she has the strength and experience to realize real change.
Key fact: Obama is running even with Hillary among Iowa women, 32%-31%.

You and Kacie both look and sound great on TV. Kudos to Ch 4's producers for broadening their horizons in St. Louis to younger and more diverse voices (in every sense). Time was that only one professor from UMSL (Ken somebody) ever got tapped to comment on politics in the Lou -- booooring. Go Kacie, Go 'Tonio, Go Obama!
