Hard to know what to make of these at this point, but it’s interesting to me that the two leading Dems cream all the Republicans – except McCain. But Obama’s leads, and to a lesser extent, Edwards’ are far greater than Clinton’s:

Clinton’s respective margins are – 3 percent against McCain; 11 over Romney; 10 over Giuliani; 9 over Huckabee.
