Obama's perceived "momentum," is based on his "11 straight wins." This momentum, should have gotten stronger in these Ohio and Texas elections. Media mythmakers have repeated with mind-numbing regularity, that Obama does better, the more time passes. Since all of these "11 straight wins," have not given Obama less than a 2/3 to Hillary's 1/3 outcomes, the clear indications are, that the contests in Ohio and Texas should have given Obama, at least, the same results: i.e. 66% (O)/33% C. What happened? Obama's perceived "electibility" superiority, is also based on his favoribility edge over Hillary, in the polls . His edge against Hillary, is based on his presumed superior electibility. According to these polls showing that Obama is favored over Clinton, and his favorability in winning over McCain, Obama should be showing devastating superiority in these Texas and Ohio polls. What happened? Could this be, why Hillary has had these preposterous expectations invented against her, in Texas and Ohio? One week ago, media were saying Hillary was gone, lost, it was over, she had no chance, she should give up; and many people were buying into the hopelessness of her campaign. Now, when Hillary's poll numbers show the slightest improvment, suddenly, Hillary is required to win by "double digits" to save her hopes. The hypocrisy, the stupidity, the extent of media manipulation is staggering. I've read that news media are "starting their attacks on Obama." How corrupt of them! But perhaps this unwitting disclosure reveals more than it should have, about this presidential race. In it, this statement, reveals the utter hypocrisy of media in having concealed any honest look at Obama's record or personal reality, else why say that media are "starting" their attacks, 10 months into the campaign, what have they been doing up till now? Hillary has received nothing but the most blistering and determined attacks against her, since the beginning of the campaign. Yet, people act as if media are simply "neutral" about these candidates. However, it's not until they sense that media are finally "attacking" Obama, that the recognition of media's power to influence the polls, comes to the surface.

Why not? George Bush will be leaving behind him myriad tangled skeins of his mismanagement, incompetency, and sheer neglect in every area of government. What's so terrible about Bill Clinton being on hand to assist? Having two highly intelligent, motivated, experienced people in the White House is certainly more reassuring than having one inexperienced, indecisive, unknown in charge of our national interests.

Mark Penn suggests she be more negative--not a problem! Bill suggests she attack Obama on national security--okay, I'll do it! But,should we not be voting for a person, hopefully a solid-self, well defined person, who will not be doing the bidding of her MALE advisors, but will be listening to her own truth? Let's face it. Hillary Clinton is a smart, tough, competent woman--who is also hopelessly codependent! That will not work well being President of the United States!

Obama has tried to create the illusion the Hillary must win big, today, to regain some hope. But, it looks like much the oppsite is happening below the surface. Obama has been incapable of decisively defeating Clinton in all previous efforts, and this is "his" last chance. Clinton is almost certain to prevail in the overall outcome of today's results. There is talk of an extremely difficult delegate situation for Hillary, but, unless I'm mistaken, many if not most delegates can change their minds. One telling aspect of this competition has been the way many Obama supporters have changed their tune just over the past couple of days. Just a week ago, Hillary was lost, her campaign was over. Now, there appears to be some hope for Hillary, and in response these same people that were saying she had "no chance," are now saying she has to win by double digits. Whatever the outcome, the Obama people are starting to sound nervousl Somehow, the desperation seems to be on the other side of this contest.
