>Change of subject. (You're welcome). As the fervent fan of Hillary Clinton that you are <g>, you must be enjoying the Democratic primaries. Or maybe not. You probably wanted her to be the nominee, right? THEN take her out. I'm sure many Republican strategists were hoping for exactly that. What they didn't count on was Obama being strong enough to do it first. Stick a fork in her, she's done. To me the only question left (on the Democratic side) is how far the Clintons will go in their desperation and how willing they are to inflict collateral damage on their own party.

The Feb results only mirrored what was to be expected after big tuesday - perhaps the lead is a bit stronger than expected since they divide dem del's, but on TX date Obama can enlarge the lead (possible), knocking her out with another big gain - (doubtful), she can take the lead (very doubtful) or because of splitting) or she can shorten his lead - straining both pockets, which might interest some cynics. If she shortens his lead to below 10% of pledged del's, she has a slightly less than even chance, perhaps 40%. Propbably the telling vote will be how strong his lead in the smaller states will be.
