Josh Marshall looks at the latest poll numbers in the Democratic nomination fight. A New York Times survey has good news for Barack Obama, seen as the stronger general election candidate than Hillary Clinton and as a candidate who “shares the values of Americans,” Marshall writes. He also links to a new poll on the Indiana primary showing Clinton ahead by three points. Clinton’s campaign might have wanted to keep its chief strategist, Mark Penn, from moonlighting as the head of a communications firm, Marshall writes. In his other job, Penn has been talking to Colombia’s ambassador about the pending U.S. free trade pact that his candidate opposes.
