The slow agony of Mrs. Clinton

I don't know what Hillary Clinton did in a previous life but she's paying bitterly.

The Obama wave is only growing. In Wisconsin last Tuesday, she could win but stumbled to 41%. Had it been 49 or 48%, I would have understood. 41% is huge. She's betting everything on Texas and Ohio on March 4 but things look pretty bad since the momentum is for Obama.

She can score a few points during tonight's debate. I hope he will make a big bad blunder. With the latest events in Pakistan, they could talk about it and his ignorance could reveal itself! Besides, medias start asking actual questions about Obama, his speeches and his experience. Will it be enough to stop his surge? It would be a shame that this rollover takes effect only on November 4, voting day.

Lately, she sharpened her attacks against him, claiming he wouldn't be ready to be President in a "dangerous world" on Day One and said "words are nice but words are cheap". I love when she slags him off like that.

My general feeling on Obama is that today he is all hope, but tomorrow, he will be only disappointment.
