Don't write off Brownback yet

Rasmussen Reports polled Brownback vs. Clinton & Obama:

Brownback … trail[s] … Clinton among likely voters by the narrow margin of just five percentage points. It’s Clinton 46% Brownback 41%.

However, Democratic Senator Barack Obama leads Senator Brownback by the much wider margin of 49% to 34%.

In polls of the primary, Obama tends to trail Clinton, though polls on MyDD or DailyKos, home of Democratic activists and opinionmakers, strongly favor Obama.

The only problem with this poll result is that Brownback first needs to win the nomination in order to take on Clinton or Obama. That same Rasmussen poll has Brownback polling at less than 2% among likely Republican primary voters, while Giuliani is at 37%. Don't get me wrong, I want Brownback to win. I'm probably the only person in Florida with a Brownback bumper sticker on his car. I just don't think he stands a chance given the latest poll results.
