Top 3 Power Rankings for the Democrats 08. New #1
2008 Power Rankings: April 19, 2007
Jason Wright, Editor

Yes we know, the Power Rankings are unforgivably late. They were ready for release a week ago when the dog ate our web server. What can you do?

So welcome to the latest edition of PoliticalDerby.com’s 2008 Power Rankings, the original tracking service in the current race for the White House. The rankings are updated as circumstances warrant and are compiled by our Editor and contributors using wire reports, polls, campaign staffer scuttlebutt and confidential tips.
Rankings last updated: April 19, 2007
The DEM Horse Tip Sheet
Power Ranking The Horse Momentum The Tip Sheet
1(tie) Barack Obama Obama Up Welcome to the lead, Obama. For the first time ever, Hillary has company at the top of the rankings. Obama’s Q1 fundraising totals and ever-improving poll numbers indicate he’s got better legs than Haley Scarnato. He’s closed to just 5 points in one poll and across the board is averaging just an 8-point deficit to Senator Clinton. Not bad for a guy who three years ago was wearing political Pull-Ups. (previous ranking: #2)
1(tie) Hillary Clinton Clinton Down There’s only one question on the mind of ‘08 watchers. Does the Senate health plan cover political grief counseling? Hillary has officially lost the title of presumptive nominee. The race she thought would be more coronation than perspiration has developed into a political junkies dream. She can boast all she wants about finishing the first quarter with the most cash-on-hand, but her support wasn’t nearly as deep as her co-leader. (previous ranking: #1)
3 John Edwards Edwards Even Edwards has rebounded in national polls, but the Tip Sheet hears he has an Obama voodoo doll hanging somewhere in his humble NC home. The race to be the “Anybody But Hillary” candidate was Edwards’ to win or lose. That particular race is over for now, and the man with the $400 haircut and populist message is struggling to stay relevant as the lone white male in the top 4. (previous ranking: #3)
