Hillary Passes Obama in Latest Poll

It seems that Hillary is starting to pass him again.
The March 14-18 national survey of 1,209 Democratic and
Democratic-leaning voters gave Clinton, a New York senator, a 49 percent to 42
percent edge over Obama, an Illinois senator. The poll has an error margin of 3
percentage points.

I think it is because of those statements brought to light about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This kind of talk about race and the "original sin of slavery," Jim Crow, etc. just doesn't play well with color-aware Democrats.

I think the idea of having an America hating preacher as spiritual mentor to the President just doesn't sit well with Democrats. The Dems are always have trouble looking patriotic and it would be easy for McCain to exploit this perceived anti-American bent of the far left in order to beat Obama.
