Big win for Hillary. Let’s see what happens in Texas. Obama might win the delegates, but the popular vote is also important.

This fact alone explains why Obama would be the best candidate for the Democrats in the fall. He is within striking distance of McCain in Kansas, a state that has been solid GOP territory for years but has started to grow tired of the far right. Of course, McCain has a huge lead over Hillary.
Clinton supporters brag of her wins against Obama in big states lke New York (her own state) and California, but either Democrat would win those states. The key is winning the swing states and being competitive in some red states. Obama can do that.
On the other hand, Hillary will unite a Republican Party that is hopelessly divided. McCain can’t do it, but she can. Nominating her would be a disaster.
I just saw this clip of Bill Clinton in 2004 on Countdown, as Keith Olbermann ridicule Hillary’s Clinton’s attempt to bring fear into the campaign.
Bill Clinton was right – go with the candidate who asks you to think and hope vs. the candidate that is trying to scare you.
It’s difficult to predict what will happen tomorrow. Over the past 10 contests, Obama has outperformed the polls with his superior ground game and the enthusiasm of his supporters. Hopefully that will continue tomorrow and he can put this away, but his ground game advantage might not be as significant tomorrow as the Clinton campaign has bet everything on these two states.
Obama’s rise in the polls seems to have stalled a little, and some polls have Hillary increasing her lead in Ohio. Some are blaming the national security ads from Clinton, but I suspect that the photo from last week of Obama in traditional African clothes might be having a larger impact.
Texas is critical. Obama needs to win the delegate race AND the popular vote to prevent any claims of victory by the Clinton campaign. If he can win in Texas and keep it close in Ohio, the super delegates will start to break for Obama and many will call for her to get out of the race. It’s also possible that party heavyweights like Gore, Pelosi, Richardson and Edwards will come out for Obama.
Should be interesting.
Government can’t do everything. Parents need to do their part.
“Turn off the TV set, put the video game away. Buy a little desk or put that child at the kitchen table. Watch them do their homework. If they don’t know how to do it, give them help. If you don’t know how to do it, call the teacher. Make them go to bed at a reasonable time. Keep them off the streets. Give them some breakfast. Come on! And since I’m on a roll, if you’re child misbehaves in school, don’t cuss out the teacher! Do something with your child!”
