Hillary Nearly Sweeps Yesterday’s Primaries

Are the cracks showing for Obama the Savior?  Yesterday Hillary swept the primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island (the three states with the largest numbers of delegates holding votes yesterday) while Obama took Vermont.

Given that media types were beginning to gnaw the “when will Hillary get out of the race” bone last week, this is a rather stunning turn around.  Obama still has a slim 86 delegate lead over Hillary, but there are still 1,200 delegates left up for grabs.

This is anyone’s game, and with Hillary picking up momentum from these three wins the dynamics of every primary here on out has changed.

So what’s happening?  Are Democrats finally waking up to the reality of Barack Obama?  That he’s a far-out-of-the-mainstream political lightweight who isn’t likely to survive a national election?

One can only hope.

Nah, all the republicans realized that Hillary will be easier to beat than Obama, so they registered as Dems and voted for Hillary in the primaries.

Rob, what you miss here is almost 800 of the 1200 are superdelegates.

This deal is fixed.
