I don't care how Hillary spins this.

Obama is eating her alive...

There is no question that Obama is drawing larger crowds at every event, and last night in Hillary's home turf - New York City - tickets were in such high demand that people began to scalp them on CraigsList. CBS 2 NY put it this way:

(CBS) NEW YORK Barack Obama entered the heart of Hillary Clinton country Friday night and received a hero's welcome before 2,000 adoring fans. His first presidential fundraiser in the Big Apple couldn't have gone much better.

"This campaign is not about me, it's about you," Obama told the crowd at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on 42nd Street.

But it's also about the contest with Clinton, and he took a mild swipe at her stance on the Iraq war.

"We know we've got a war that should have never been waged, should've never been authorized," Obama said.

This became such a hot ticket they had to move the event from a restaurant to a hotel. Then it sold out and people started scalping tickets on craigslist.

It was the latest skirmish in a fierce, behind-the-scenes, fight for Democratic campaign cash. On one side is Sen. Obama, inspiring a growing legion of young believers. On the other, Sen. Clinton, a Democratic icon that believes her time has come.

Obama's fans, like restaurant owner B. Smith, have struggled with the decision.

"I love Hillary, I think she's fabulous, but I think we need something that's new and fresh and Obama is right there," Smith said.

He's taken her Hollywood money, he's taking her New York money. He's averaging 3x the turnout at every stop. (In Iowa 15,000 as compared to 3,000.) There is no way to spin this.

Hillary's in serious trouble...
