Last poll had her ahead by some obscene amount.  This is bigger than simply a caucus advantage for Obama.  This is a massive shift, and I think it probably explains Doyle getting fired.

Mark Penn is the one who should be out on the streets.

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.

Agreed.  Jabba's gotta go.

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.

So now you can win a Grammy in the "best spoken word" category by reading your autobiography?

They had that one for years.  Bill Clinton's won three of them, and Hillary won one for It Takes a Village.

It wasn't the biography one, though, I believe.  It was the recent one.

Sure, but a spoken word grammy for an audiobook recording is an insult to true spoken word artists like, say, Sherman Alexie (to name just one I have had the plleasure to see live).

You lived in Southern California, center of the Bizarro World that is the entertainment industry, for a few years and yet you really think these Hollywood award shows decide based upon actual merit?

I will totally concur with Migs about Sherman Alexie.  Brilliant writer, very funny.  He became a friend during the development of "Smoke Signals," directed by Chris Eyre, which won Sundance.  Being on set for last days of shooting was one of the high points in my life.  The wrap party was over the top.

Sherman was always great at readings, and he sparked many Native kids to develop their writing.

The Potomac Primary is looking bad for her, too.  And at last night's Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Richmond, they each gave speeches.  Even my mother, a pretty militant Clinton supporter, had to admit Obama shredded all of Clinton's arguments.

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.
