Clinton Campaign Undaunted by Obama’s Scary Display of Hubris

After grandstanding for the press earlier this week by jumping to the questionable conclusion that President Bush had singled him out as an “appeaser” in his speech to Israel’s Knesset, Barack Obama has subsequently displayed even further evidence of a smug and scary hubris. He’s planning to celebrate his crowning as the Democratic nominee with a rally in Iowa Tuesday night, even though the Rules Committee won’t resolve the Michigan and Florida issue until May 31, and the latest polls show the race between him and Sen. Hillary Clinton is still close.

According to RealClearPolitics, the national poll average this morning shows Obama leading Clinton by only 6.8 points, just barely exceeding the margin for error. In the upcoming primaries, Obama leads in Oregon by an average of 14.3 points while Clinton leads in Kentucky by a whopping 28.8 points.

It will be interesting to see Obama taking bows onstage Tuesday night in Iowa as his adoring flock chants “Yes, we can” when word reaches the anointed one that Clinton has replicated her win in West Virginia by mopping the floor with him in Kentucky.

Clinton Supporters Count Too pointed out the other day:

“THIS IS NOT OVER…DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU IT IS AND DON'T LET YOURSELF THINK IT IS. IT IS NOT OVER. This is only one part of the Road to the White House and the candidates are statistically neck to neck. The next step is the Resolution of FL and MI and we will demonstrate in Washington on May 31st when the Rules Committee meets. Save the date. …more later. Each time we enter a new phase we will determine the most effective strategy and communicate it to you. Your part is to help make it happen throughout OH, MI, PA and FL, the critical states where we have the advantage.”

Plus, WomenCount has reported dramatic success in fundraising:

WomenCount, a new PAC formed to fund full-page ads to run this week for Hillary Clinton has received more than $170,000 in 48 hours from women all around the country. The PAC will fund ads in USA Today, the NY Times, and some regional newspapers.
