Ref's Poll Notes

While the first poll taken completely after the Obama "clinging to guns and religion" comment showed a twenty-point lead for Clinton, other polls show a smaller bounce or no bounce at all.  Obama's comments probably ended any chance of a Pennsylvania upset, but they have not sunk his candidacy for the nomination.

Obama Accuses Clinton of Playing Rough in ‘Gotcha’ Debate - The media and Obama were in full whine mode all day Thursday.  Obama's performance in the debate and his complaints about the questions demonstrate a serious lack of political maturity.  He does not handle criticism or attacks well at all.  Obama assumes the media can protect him.  The liberal media no longer has that power.  The Democrats should serioulsy consider nominating Clinton at this point.

Watch Obama complain about his treatment in the debate - I find this incredible because he has received more favorable treatment from the media than any candidate I can recall.
