Democratic Primary Update - Game Still Over

Rasmussen's Daily Tracking Poll shows Barack Obama opening up an eight point lead over the Lioness of Tuzla. Six days ago, Hillary led by three. For those of you who flunked remedial math or happen to be Philadelphia Eagle fans, that's an 11 point swing in less than a week.

The cause? One of the candidates is looking like a winner, and the other is looking like a loser. And Democrats will always back the proverbial strong horse.

Paranthetically, Rasmussen has also signaled an end to the proceedings, writing, "At the moment, Senator Clinton's team is busily trying to convince Superdelegates and pundits that she is more electable than Barack Obama. For reasons discussed in a separate article, it doesn't matter. Even if every single Superdelegate was convinced that the former First Lady is somewhat more electable than Obama, that is not enough of a reason to deny him the nomination.

"With this in mind, Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama."
