Clean Sweep

Obama crushed Hillary again yesterday. He won DC, Maryland, and Virginia all with over 60% of the vote. Maine and Maryland were previously Hillary territory so that's a big blow to her. He's now won 8 states in a row and all the experts agree that even with superdelegates, he's in the lead of total delegates. Things for Obama are going according to plan.

Next week, we have Wisconsin and word is that Hillary is bypassing it to make a Giuliani style camp out in Texas. Will it work? It is really here only hope. The last poll for Texas I saw was from 1/30 with Hillary and Obama 10 points apart and with Obama sharply gaining and Hillary slightly declining.

Its going to be hard for her to pull this out. The storyline is that her campaign is in trouble. Her message of being tested and more experienced is not working at all. Obama has the romance and the momentum. But Texas will be hard for him because even its liberals are conservative and there are still vestiges of the ol' boy Democratic Party there that love the Clinton's.

Still America loves a winner and right now, Obama is winning and Hillary is not. Its hard to see how she recaptures the momentum here but she has two weeks. I just hope Obama doesn't spend too much time in Wisconsin and gets to Texas because that and Ohio are much bigger prizes.
