Breaking: Dewey Defeats Truman!
I think Obama should get one of today's papers and have himself photographed.

It could be a golden opportunity, given the way things are shaping up in Texas.

2. No, but it looks like the results will.
Hence the humor in that photo.

3. Perception and momentum are going to carry Hillary to a win.
She has won all of the big states and is leading in the popular vote.
She has the leverage to get MI & FL counted now.... and more endorsements and SDs are on the way.
She is in it to win it, and win it she will - for all of us!

6. Won't have much momentum if she loses the caucus now will she?
Or Mississippi, for that matter.

If you're arguing that Clinton can just campaign on being an empty suit, being all hat and no cattle, well OK, maybe she can do that.

9. It's worked for Obama.
Hillary will get a net 90-100 delegates from PA.
She is going to CRUSH Obama!

16. And they say Obama supporters are out of touch with reality.

11. Yup. He "asked me to believe" and "have faith"
I said: "get real"

He is far too naive to have as our candidate.
He just doesn't get how anything works -- he shouldn't have bought into his own hype.

17. Thinking Clinton gets 90 delegates out of PA is what is naive, or actually, just plain stupid -nt

4. That's good thinking: there ain't two Texas elections; there's one Texas election with two parts!
There ain't two Texas elections; there's one Texas election with two parts.

http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/...

Obama gained 4 delegates over Hillary in the Texas election, and he won 56% of the caucus. That puts him over in the popular vote as well.

Texas Primary: Clinton 64/ Obama 60
Texas Caucus: Obama 38/ Clinton 30

Hillary gained 15 delegates over Obama in Ohio

Ohio Primary Clinton 77/ Obama 62/ Edwards 2

The Vermont and RI Primaries canceled one another out.

Vermont Primary: Obama 9/ Clinton 6

Rhode Island Primary: Clinton 12/Obama 9

HRC's base is rallying around the Pyrric victory of eleven delegates,
which promises to divide our party.

14. That was my impression until last evening
when everyone was spinning the primary win as a state win. It seemed to me that the media was marginalizing the caucus outcome.
