OBAMA wipes Hillary's lead in TX Caucuses

Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 4:43 PM

...the ayes of Texas are upon you...

Evidently Clinton's big night was more like a little blip. After all delegates tallied:

Clinton: 185 delegates on the night
Obama: 173 delegates on the night

With undecideds still to place their votes.

That means she gained no more than 12 delegates on him after trailing by more than 100 going into the evening. With some big rounds left to go in the fight.

ABM
Anybody But McCain is the byproduct of this primary. I personally will take less experience and good judgment over more experience and lousy judgment any day. Abe Lincoln's experience was two years in the House. The only thing you can trust McCain to do is keep us in Iraq several trillion dollars longer and get us involved in some other military conflict. Watching him play the foreign policy card will not fool the people who know there is a difference between saber rattling and diplomacy. His experience as a diplomat is zero. Once he is pressured to explain how he is going to continue to finance this war, work on health care and Social Security problems AND reduce taxes (it can't be done without borrowing even more money), whatever misguided 'trust' he retains will be eaten by a lack of credibility.

But Hillary did get back the fighting
spririt that was fizzling out making her more passionate and attractive as the candidate who can beat McCain in November. Actually, her goal was not to surpus Hussein's lead, her goal was to raise enough questions about Hussein's ability to get the dems the whitehouse in November. Judging by the outcome last night, I think americans are beginning to doubt Hussein's ability to LEAD this country. Hillary's camp knows that while Obama is the "fresh face", americans have trust issues and 2:1 McCain has the trust of the american people - in November, Trust trumps hope because Trust is Hope in Action. McCain should begin to make the argument that he has both judgement and experience to lead this nation and that americans can TRUST his judgement and experience. Barack can't make this claim authentically considering he has only taunted judgement based on his Iraq position - Does he want to fight McCain on foreign policy issues (McCain's major strength?). Hussein should watch how Mc marginalized Mitt by making the election about foreign policy....and realize his premise is a losing preposition. The super delegates might just catch on and pick Hillary over the Hussein guy.
