Over on the lefty blogs, they’re noticing that Rasmussen has Edwards tied up with Obama.

That’s not really great news for either one of them, as the Big R has Clinton 40 percent, Obama 18 percent, and Edwards 18 percent.

Still, if one or the other drops out – perhaps after a bad performance in Iowa or New Hampshire — maybe the anti-Hillary vote coalesces around the remaining contender. (Rasmussen has Richardson way back at 5 percent, even though he’s seen some movement in his numbers in the early primary states.)
