Catching Clinton

The most amazing thing in this campaign is Obama's ability to chip away at Clinton's advantage. If he goes to a state down 20 points two weeks out, it may as well be a toss up. Even in the states he lost, such as California and New Hampshire, he showed an ability to make up ground quickly. The polls are meaningless until his plane touches down. It's happening already in Texas (this link is stunning), and I imagine it will happen in Ohio.

The same is true of specific demographics. Ben Smith reported, and Greg Sargent flagged, Gallup's finding that Obama has now even passed Clinton in support from Hispanic voters.
