Super Tuesday II is over and not much was resolved. According to various news sources, there are only 100 votes between Obama and Hillary.
Does this give Hillary momentum or is it a fluke?
Personally, I'm thinking more and more that this will be decided in Denver and the road to the Mile High City will be bloody. It will be nothing short of a WWE cage match only it won't be scripted and the winner is anything but decided.
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air thinks that Obama has a glass jaw and it might hurt him in the end.
He blew up during a Texas press conference heavily attended by Chicago journalists. He stormed off after only eight questions regarding the contacts between his campaign and Canadian diplomats over NAFTA and the Rezko trial. The national press had already been grumbling about his insularity, and Obama gave them an excuse to write reams of material about it, Rezko, and the NAFTA dance.
In short, Obama has exposed himself as a seriously inexperienced and flawed candidate. He hasn’t really been tested until now, and the glass jaw he showed in the first few days of the real bout must have the party establishment worried about a lengthy battle against either Hillary or McCain. Against both, he may soon flounder — and that slim lead in pledged delegates will not present much of an obstacle to bypassing him in Denver.
Morrissey usually nails it as good or better as anyone in the sphere or anywhere else for that matter. His analysis is always spot on.
Hillary went negative and it worked probably better than even she had hoped. If Obama continues to dis the press, he'll have hell to pay. Clinton knows how to manipulate the press. Not much happens that she is not in total control of and I would argue that applies to her husband's remarks as well. I don't believe for one minute he said anything that wasn't scripted. She didn't so much as rein him in as she/they changed his message after it backfired a bit.
Now that the Huckster has gone Huckabye-bye, McCain has some breathing room and can concentrate on his post convention campaign while the Democrats engage in a little internecine warfare.
This ain't over by a long shot.

Just listening to Laura Ingraham and the Obama-philes are convinced that Hillary didn't win, but that Republicans voted to make the sainted one loose... Anger is INTENSE. what an election year!
