The year is definitely not turning out the way it was supposed to for the Democrats. The Clinton campaign’s poor strategic decisions are taking their toll. Hillary was supposed to have had it wrapped up by Mega-Tuesday so she had not gotten her ground game together in any of the states following. This is why they are now looking at March 5, Texas and Ohio, to give them time to get something going and ceding the smaller states in the meantime. But this just means more momentum for Obama (the Clinton campaign says momentum doesn’t affect elections — this week’s stunning evidence to the contrary) and even if she wins TX and OH 55/45 or some similar margin, she still cannot declare victory, because she will not have enough delegates. The Obama wins in the meantime will be impressive enough that Clinton will be unable to regain status as the presumptive nominee. She expects that after winning TX and OH she will be able to say, OK, you had your fun, now let the adults take over. But that won’t fly. And that assumes she wins those races, which right now is an iffy proposition. This should be an interesting convention.
