No longer a 21 point lead, Hillary Clinton is now in a statistical dead heat with Barack Obama. According to a new Zogby poll. Obama has steadily climbed back from a once overwhelming deficit to currently sitting one point beyond Senator Clinton. It is clear that Obama's star is rising has so in recent weeks especially after his win in Iowa. I admit I have labeled Hillary the inevitable candidate based on her national numbers and the political organization behind her. While not ready to put the nail in Hillary's political coffin, Obama's rise has given cause for reflection. Once thought to be unstoppable, Hillary's inevitability has suffered serious blows by Obama's success. Clinton stopped the bleeding in her campaign with a win in New Hampshire, but Obama's win in Iowa showed the ability to compete against Hillary and turn out voters. Change is the buzz word for this election cycle and Obama has made it his message and strategy for defeating Hillary. What only a few months ago seemed impossible may indeed be possible. The election season moves on and this David may find himself victorious over his Goliath.
