It smells like death for Clinton

Clinton didn't have it so bad for Super Tuesday. There is still some shenanigans about the precise number of delegates she won, but I guess it's fair to say she had an even game with Obama. And that's exactly the problem.

She couldn't break the Obama wave and now, this movement is only growing. Indeed, only in January, Obama received the stunning number of 32$M donations. And after Super Tuesday, he got 5.8M$ in a very short period of time! It's all the more as surprising as he got all this money from individuals and not firms, lobbies or other "special interests". Clinton had to give 5M$ in her campaign from her own money.".

In France as well, people would prefer Obama. In the National Assembly, the members of parliament would all fall for Obama. Only a few left-wing people want Hillary because she's got "the most left-wing program about society issues such as health care".".

It smells like death for Clinton. If she still has a slight national lead on Obama, the growing movement generated by Obama, as well as his financial means should now enable him to beat Clinton. However, she could strike back by asking the Democratic Party to take into account the delegates of Florida and Michigan. But that would be sad.".

Juju, it is indeed sad to look through that album the Clinton 08 campaign sent out and realise the very nostalgic tone it is already taking on. I've never seen anything from her organisation that seemed so contrite and heartfelt; it really confounded me. Which is why I think that this campaign (unlike Obama's "movement") touche sa fin. Your post was prescient. It does smell like death and it feels weird to have been on the wrong side of history.
