   Aron,

   Any exit Poll Numbers out of Maine so far from there primary? I’m seeing with 11% of the vote in. Obama is leading Clinton 41% to 38% so far.

   I still have hope that Hillary can pull it out in the end.

   She leads Obama among pledged and unpledged delegates. She will most likely lose in the Chesapeake primary on Tuesday and Obama will almost certainly trounce her here in Wisconsin (Obama is absolutely blanketing the state in TV and radio ads and it wouldn’t surprise me if he managed to get 90% of Madison to vote for him), but Hillary should be able to win Texas and Ohio on March 4th. That would put her ahead again. That means that it all comes down to the Pennsylvania.

   The most likely scenario is that Obama is ahead of her after PA among pledged delegates, but she’s beating him among super delegates. Even better would be if neither have enough delegates to win outright and are forced to go to a convention. How wonderful. McCain would have months to raise money and criss cross the country honing his message. While the Democrats have to wait all the way until August 25th for their convention.

   I did some math. One of the rumor Comprises with the Super Degelates is that they vote the way the state does. If that is the case right now Obama would have 194 of them to Hillary’s 240.

   Paul,

   Super delegates were designed specifically so they wouldn’t vote with how their states did. If that was the case, both Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Deval Patrick would be supporting Hillary, since she won the state. That’s not going to happen. The Democrats are headed for an explosion, the only thing that could head it off at this point is for Obama to pull out wins in TX and OH and win the nomination.

   Deval Patrick is as lame as Mitt Romney was.
   (Both were the lessers of 2 evils).

   And Teddy K. was all set to endorse Hillary, before Bill made that
   comment about MLK and LBJ. (against JFK).
   That soured Caroline so much, Maria her best cousin followed.
   Of course, Teddy and Patrick did too.

   5# Don’t hope and try to deal with reality. If Obama wins today (very likely: 59% reporting, 15% lead) and he can win in Maryland, DC and Virginia, then he has seven victories in a row. I can’t imagine Clinton coming back from this. It is complete nonsense that she is better in TX, OH and Pennsylvania. Obama won some states in which she held big leads (MO,Delaware, etc.) She is not the favorite in those three states.

    I think that so many of the Clinton superdelegates, if it’s clear that the people want Obama, will switch their support to him to avoid the WORST kind of headlines. How can any Democrat elected against the wishes of the voters change the back-door dealing of Washington if that’s what they gladly used to get the nomination?

    Not that I really think it’s wrong or anything, but you have to admit, for a party that claims to be the one of the people, that won’t play well at ALL.

    Replacing her campaign manager strikes me as unncessary based on the race as it stands so I wonder if there is something left to be disclosed. Perhaps there is a story behind the money problems.

    Where this hurts is with those superdelegates who are on the fence, to whom this probably looks bad.

    I think a campaign manager replacement should have occurred a while back, before Super Tuesday at least. This type of major shakeup happens when the direction of the campaign isn’t working anymore. For Clinton, that’s been aparent for a while now. The past couple weeks proved that, seeing as how Clinton lost some states she had been leading in and ultimately should have won. Her recent strategy of going on the attack while playing the victim has not been successful, and her campaign has been running on a sort of amateur course. Bringing in long time Clinton advisors (and Maggie Williams is one) may be Hillary’s best option at this stage of the race.
