Well, well, well, well –
And maybe a few more wells, too.
I know the Wagnerian woman of substance hasn’t sung, yet.
Hell, she hasn’t even begun warming up.
But there is a shift taking place in the polls.

Rasmussen Daily Tracker shows a clear increase in John Edwards' support –
And a clear decrease in Barack Obama’s support.
Hillary Clinton had a dip last week, but is back to October levels.

The Big Mo’. It’s momentum that matters. Mid-November isn’t a bad time for momentum for early-January caucuses and primaries. John Edwards has climbed into the upper teens for the first time while Barack Obama had dropped from the upper twenties to the low twenties. In October Obama dropped from a high of 29% to a low of 18%. Edwards, on the other hand, has climbed from a low of 11% in early October to a recent high of 18%.
Here’s the down and dirty. Barack Obama has led John Edwards all summer in EVERY Rasmussen poll. In mid-summer Obama had a 2 to 1 lead over Edwards – 26% to 12% on July 21st and 22nd. On Saturday, November 10th, Obama led Edwards by only 2%.

If Edwards passes Obama then the dynamics of the primary have changed!

NB – I was troll-rated a few months ago for pointing out that Edwards was in single digits in South Carolina. I was lashed for suggesting that ridiculing Lieberman Dems wasn’t a way to get them to vote for Lamont. So I certainly will not be surprised by any reaction from Obamans to this diary.
(On the Rethuglican side, the biggest news isn’t Huckabee, but John McCain.
McCain has gotten back into the mid-teens from the single digits. )
