Real Clear Politics still has Clinton with a 12% lead.

Ted Kennedy has always been big in Ireland, but then so is Bill Clinton. His endorsement of Obama is important, in my view, because it shows that even the very old guard of the Dem establishment is warming to Obama.  Ted Kennedy was a big supporter of Bill, so switching to Obama now is a big blow for her, particularly in terms of influencing Super delegates.  Whether Ted Kennedy still has much clout with the average dem voter I really don't know.  But Obama has been campaigning heavily on camelot style hope and aspiration and Ted's endorsement effectively legitimises that - unlike Dan Quale who was ridiculed for trying to act like Jack Kennedy - "I knew Jack Kennedy, and you're no Jack Kennedy..."
