Where are the naysayers! Last week it was supposed to be a landslide

[adabfree]

I clearly recall many Hill supporters saying Obama was going to get spanked on Super Duper Tuesday.. he was going to lose and lose badly..

1. Oh they are here..

every state "called" for one or the other generates a "game over" or "take that"...

Which is really funny because no state is a winner take all state.

Obama is ahead by 5000 votes in MO... yawn...

Clinton "takes" California.... bigger yawn...

Folks, none of this matters. It would matter if this was the GE and the opponent was from the other party, but it's not. None of this matters unless a candidate consistently wins most of the Super Tuesday states and by significant margins (at least 60 - 40, although some math minded people said it needed to be 62 - 38 to get the "extra" delegates).

That Obama has made it very close... when just a few weeks ago Hillary had double digit, sometime 20+ point leads in the polls... makes today an Obama victory.

His wins also blow apart the little canard that he just has black support.

But his big time endorsements from big names (Kennedy clan) didn't help him. Expectations by the Obama camp (breathless reports of 20,000 or 30,000 people attending a rally) were set a little high. OTOH, Clinton continues to fight and claw for keeping each and every one of her votes. This is why she is willing to play dirty politics and try to have the Florida and Michigan delegates seated.

Expect more from the Clintons. Expect the same from the Clintonistas here on DU.

The momentum is on Obama's side. Yes, had he won a few more states, it would have been huge Mo. But I think he did about as well as could be expected given the time frame.

Now we go on to the non-SuperTuesday states. Clinton shot her wad on NY, NJ, and CA... where her core base is located... now its on to the other states. It's still anyones game. The delegates are all that matter and, right now, nobody has sealed the deal to win the nomination (despite the woohoos and "game overs" from the pinheads).

I don't have a prediction. Let's see what the next week or so or month or so brings.

All the way to Denver. It really could come down to a brokered convention. And that will be interesting.
