Barack Obama has a twelve point lead over Hillary Clinton in Oregon’s May 20 Democratic presidential primary, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll.  Obama leads Clinton 51%-39%, with a big lead among younger and higher income voters.  But most Democrats will vote for either candidate in a general election matchup with Republican John McCain.  

When Hillary Clinton first spewed her comments of dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, the national media had a field day when they released the footage of her walking calmly across the tarmac to hug small children waiting to greet her arrival. They had even more fun when Bill Clinton decided to resurrect the story a few weeks later.
