Wow…wow wow wow. Looks like Barack has some momentum (not to be confused with Joe Lieberman’s “Joementum”), winning somewhere around 10 states in a row. Hillary is definitely on her heels. Which provides an interesting observation for the republican nominee…When the Clintons came under fire for attacking Barack, and being divisive, Hillary was the front runner. Once she started playing Barack’s game he started thrashing her. It will be interesting to see what the Clintons do in response to this. According to CNN’s election night coverage, even if Barack swept the remaining states at a 55-45 clip, that he would still not have enough delagates to reach the magic number. Essentially, there is a strong possibility that the Democratic Nomination will be decided by the Super Delegates.
Now Hillary has a tough task at hand. She needs to stop the Obama momentum at all costs. Up next is Wisconsin, and as of right now she appears to be ceeding Wisconsin to him by her focus on Texas and Ohio. Hillary needs to get in there, roll up her sleeves and make him work for it in Wisconsin. of if she can’t, she needs to take the muzzle and leash off Bill, and let him do what he does best…take people down!!!!!
Should be fun to watch. The next big date is March 3, that’s really the last stand for Hillary. if she loses Texas, it’s probably over.
On the Republican side, Huckabee hanging around is essentially going to force McCain to win the nomination. This could provide a stark contrast to a party and nomination which may be decided in a back room deal at the democratic convention.
