The latest national numbers from Gallup show some startling movement towards Obama among Dems who have been among Hillary's most reliable supporters.

It finds that Obama is now tied with Hillary among whites (47%-47%); leads her among women (49%-46%); edges her among Dems with a high school graduate or less (46%-47%); and leads her among Hispanics (51%-44%).

Those groups, obviously, have been the bedrock of Hillary's candidacy. The only major demographic group that Hillary gets 51% or more of are women aged 50 and older.

These numbers suggest that Obama's support is broadening daily, and that the party's rank and file -- in addition to its institutional players -- appear to be coalescing behind him.

natural co-alesing behind the nominee.
The figures to watch are the negatives, as we go thru the general.

Can he bring them down?
Afterall she is a "political corpse", as Buchannan called her.
