Obama is potentially edging out in-front of Hillary in the number of delegates. Will the momentum take him to a win in Texas on 4th March – Hillary’s last fire wall?
Back in the Autumn I believed it was Hillary’s to lose; now the once invincible Clinton machine has ended up in a dead heat, crippled by poll-tested corporate packaging and marketed like a bar of soap. The result a change at the top with Patti Solis Doyle stepping down.
With the race tightening Hillary has polarised the black vote and attempted to do the same with the Latino vote. She also seeks the ghost delegates from Florida and Michigan to be reinstated. A re-run of the 1968 Democratic Convention will create a poisoned chalice, but for Hillary it’s ‘whatever it takes’ – the collateral damage to the Democratic Party she doesn’t care.
Finally, Ralph Nader will also run if he raises $10 million and there is still an outside chance of Michael Bloomberg running. Four possible candidates for president in November…
If you have a moment the “Yes We Can” Obama youtube video, which has got almost 4 million hits in a week, is worth watching.

The first polls from Ohio show a healthy Clinton lead which Obama will have to break down as well as in Texas. I’m all for Obama but he has to score a big state to knock Clinton out once and for all. I have no doubt that Clinton will show herself to be a devotee to George W. Bush by trying to win the nomination through the courts and to reinstate Michigan and Florida. The DNC is open to both states re-running their ballots but time constraints may mean a caucus is used which favours Obama. Clinton will do everything to stop that.
