The Politico has a revealing glimpse into the money situation for our two candidates. It reveals what we have all, by now, come to realize: that a sense of inevitability left the Clinton campaign ill-equipped to compete with a well-financed and organized candidate in a post Super Tuesday world. And of course, it doesn't help that that well-financed and organized candidate is Sen. Barak Obama. Could it be that Obama's recent momentum is due in part to Hillary's strapedness for cashedness?
Dailykos posts a column from the Financial Times calling for Clinton to Get Out. The author invokes an idea that I believe is becoming increasingly prevalent among Obama supporters. It is the idea that Sen. Clinton could be an able ally and chief advisor of a President Barack Obama. As the FT columnist also points out, his candidacy would represent an incredible opportunity for the Clintons to further and preserve their legacy -- through pioneering legislation in the Senate and aligning themselves closely with a Barack Obama presidency. As I said in my column from Monday, what better way to do this than as Senate Majority leader? So should she stay, or should she go?
Here they come. More polls. Polls indicate Clinton leading in Ohio, and clinging to a statistical non-lead in Texas (I pronounce it Tejas). The polls, indicating a 48-47 Clinton lead in Texas, and 50-43 in Ohio indicate that Hillary still has a chance to put a stop to the 11 contest winning streak Obama has compiled. But they may also be portents of doom for a campaign that is hinging on victories there for a shot at the nomination. In November, Obama was down by 40 points in Texas; a month ago, 20. Now? A statistical deadheat, and the story in Ohio isn't much better. Will this trend continue or will Sen. Clinton Hillary win these states, though just barely? To answer a previous question, she should at least stay in until then, right?
Well, Hillary may not have gotten him to debate her in Wisconsin, but they're at it tonight in the 19th debate since all this primaryin and caucusin got started. Should be interesting, given that the stakes are so high. Will Mark Penn headbutt an Obama staffer? Will Deval Patrick stand in for Barack Obama? Will a candidate attempt a phrase in Spanish, only to humiliate him or herself beyond electability? Find out, tonight, on CNN# 7:00 CT.
By the way, where has Chelsea Clinton been?

Gerald, what does that last link have to do with Chelsea Clinton?
It is surprising how well Obama is doing in Texas. I assumed he would be better fit for Ohio, as there is a large black population and a low latino one. It's also a midwestern state, where he has dominated so far.
By the way, is there a polite way for me to say "I told you so" in regard to the Obama candidacy?
I hope you're enjoying your post-Ed's career.
The problem is that even if Hillary wins Texas and Ohio, it will be a narrow margin. And a narrow margin will not help her gain a pledged delegate lead, unless she wins 65% of the vote (which isnt happening).
Superdelegates will not override the decision of the pledged delegates and popular vote (both of which Obama is leading).
Unless Barack makes a major stumble, and barring some miracle... it seems as if Obama has the nomination.
The voters of Wisconsin have succesfully voted for the eventual Democratic nominee since 1972, and it seems as if that trend will continue.
Nice first post, Gerald! Though I would contest your claim of the Clintons solidifying their legacy... Is it possible to divorce the two (not literally but rhetorically)?
