clinton slips, obama blips, edwards schleps

a new zogby poll shows sen. clinton being beat by every repubbblican candidate, and we mean including huckabee hound, while sen. barack "to the future" obama beats every goper, while sen. edwards virtually ties them all. reuters:

clinton, a new york senator who has been at the top of the democratic pack in national polls in the 2008 race, trails republican candidates rudy giuliani, mitt romney, fred thompson, john mccain and mike huckabee by three to five percentage points in the direct matches.

in july, clinton narrowly led mccain, an arizona senator, and held a five-point lead over former new york mayor giuliani, a six-point lead over former tennessee sen. thompson and a 10-point lead over former massachusetts gov. romney…

obama, an illinois senator, and edwards, a former north carolina senator, both hold narrow leads over the republican contenders in the hypothetical 2008 match-ups.

we ourselves would be hard-pressed to press hard the lever electing hillary clinton president.

addendum: several commentors on the reuters piece pointed out that it was a zogby interactive poll, in which only registered online zogby participants could vote, thus putting the results into question, unlike any other poll we've ever heard of.
