Obama On The Move

[THUNDER HANDS]

Takes the delegate lead. I doubt he'll look back.

Yes, I'm very optimistic right now.

1. It could be over after 2/19

If he keeps sweeping.

2. is that Ohio?

Because, as in the general election, I think whoever wins Ohio wins the nomination.

3. OH is in March. March 4th.

4. THAT'S when he can wrap this thing up. n/t

6. Wisconsin and Hawaii on 2/19

He'll win both.

If he also sweeps DC, Maryland and VA on 2/10...I don't see how she stays in the race after so many losses in a row.

11. Hawaii won't hurt Hillary. Obama winning a home state isn't surprising

Wisconsin would be a blow. Has anyone seen a recent Wisconsin poll? Remember Wisconsin breathed life into Edwards' second place campaign in 2004 by almost giving him an upset win against Kerry. Let's not put Wisconsin into the Obama column yet.

12. It does border Illinois.

Part of the state is in the Chicago media market. Obama tends to do better in states as people get to know him more and people in WI know Obama well.

Hawaii by itself isn't that big of a deal but if its one of 9 victories in a row then it matters. And Hillary did lose her birth state by a wide margin.

13. He has to be the favorite in Wisconsin

I agree that Hillary needs to win somewhere to stop the bleeding. That is why Maine was a big blow to her.

5. Man, I hate to be selfish

But I hope it's not over until Texas...only cause I want Obama to come here. ;)

7. I understand

and I want a good excuse to visit Austin later this month.

[THUNDER HANDS]

8. It can't be over before Texas

Texas and Ohio both have a boatload of delegates. I GUARANTEE you that Obama and Clinton will both spend a LOT of time there.

10. I know I know

Who would have thunk it, Texas being important in the democratic primary race. Woo hoo!

9. Obama by 20 lenghts! Clinton in the second, she can't advance!
