NBC is calling it for Obama.
Clinton just got creamed. I don't think she would have expected this in her worst nightmares.
I think Clinton is going to hang in there now at least until Texas. But Texas will be closer than she expects.
Oh - and Obama won a grammy today.
It's going to take more than Clinton's got to turn this around now. My guess is some party grandees will be lining up to have a word with her soon.
Obama has swept all of the big Texas newspapers, too.
It's not entirely impossible to imagine Obama winning there, especially if he's making inroads among the working-class whites and Latinos. And he may be. If he closes the gap with those two groups, it's over.
There's also perhaps a certain rally-to-the-leader-to-stop-McCain factor that may play in the next several contests. The fact that he may be leading her even if you count superdelegates has got to have Camp Clinton freaking out.
And, yeah, Grammys don't hurt, especially when the press will be talking of how he beat out Bill Clinton for it. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
It wasn't the biography one, though, I believe. It was the recent one. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Sherman was always great at readings, and he sparked many Native kids to develop their writing. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
He seems to be hitting his stride just when she stumbles, but I'm still hesitant to call it that way, since I'm still spooked from New Hampshire. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
But not much better.
Looking at the polls for Tuesday:
DC:
Clinton: ? Obama: ?
Note: I can't believe O isn't going to take this one big.
Maryland:
Clinton: 33% Obama: 52%
Virginia:
Clinton: 37% Obama: 52%
So things are looking grim for Senator Inevitable from New York.
She'll get delegates in DC, but Obama will easily beat her. Go with me on this when I say, it's only the chattering class that's voting for her there -- the West of the Park crowd. Beyond them, it's all black folks, students and young professionals in the District.
She's trying to push up her score in the DC exurbs in Virginia, like Manassas and Woodbridge. Obama will dominate Alexandria and Arlington, I'd guess, as the party machinery has bailed on her for fear of being voted out.

Go with me on this ...
OK, but only because it's you. ;-)
...the party machinery has bailed on [Clinton] for fear of being voted out.
Kee-rist!
How in Christ's name did they spend $150m and only make it to January 8th? Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Running a campaign the Old Fashioned Way has a major burn-rate.
Penn, all by hisself, has gotten - what? - five million or thereabouts?
So who will they blame it on this time? The blacks? The "latte liberals"? The kids? The press? The money? The caucus system? I want to see how Jerome Armstrong and his little minions at MyDD explain this one away.
Nothin' but a bunch of rich, young Negroes in Maine after all. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
I love that Taylor Marsh, that psychopath, is spinning the Doyle firing as a good thing. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
