Campaign watch: Obama’s commanding lead

From The Patriot Post-

"John McCain and Barack Obama both won handily in their parties’ respective primaries on Tuesday—McCain in Washington and Wisconsin, Obama in Wisconsin and Hawaii. Obama has won ten straight contests since Super Tuesday—by an average of more than 30 percentage points—giving him a sizeable delegate lead over Hillary Clinton. The Clinton campaign reportedly ended January $7.6 million in debt and is betting the house on the Texas and Ohio primaries on 4 March, in which more than 200 delegates are up for grabs. Unfortunately for Clinton, however, the Teamsters’ endorsement of Obama could be a key factor in Ohio. The Service Employees International Union and the United Food and Commercial Workers also endorsed his this past week. Meanwhile, Clinton’s black supporters are beginning to wonder if the time has come to jump ship and join Obama. Some party leaders are looking to none other than Al Gore to broker a deal that could keep the nomination fight between the two from ending in a debilitating brawl at the convention. Yet considering Al and Hillary’s mutual abhorrence, any such negotiation is unlikely. Besides, Obama has no reason to give up the fight, and Clinton simply won’t give up, no matter the consequences. Call it pathology, but the Clintons are not going to lose graciously. Asked if she’s going to stay in the race if she loses Texas and/or Ohio, Clinton predicted, “I don’t make predictions. I never have, I never will.” Um, right. That whistling sound you hear is not the remains of an obliterated spy satellite; it’s the once-high-flying Clinton campaign plummeting toward earth."
