Times Square Bombing Update: Sometimes, pictures really are worth a 1,000 words:
Read all of the linked items at Halperin’s blog. Here is Hillary Clinton’s statement.
UPDATE: Next, here are must-read observations from a front-page story by elections expert Jerome Armstrong — “Pennsylvania Forward” at MyDD.com:
[...]
Riding into the OH and TX contests, he only needed a victory, and with the help of outside forces, outspent Clinton by a 3 or 4:1 margin in OH & TX. Nevertheless, Clinton won, in Texas by 4 percent, and in Ohio by 10 percent.
Yes, there is a pattern.
It’s pretty rare that an upstart candidate gets a shot at beating an establishment candidate even once, and yet, Obama’s had three swings and missed each time. He’s not going to have another shot at putting away Clinton with everything going from him, as he did his first three chances.
The problem for Obama is that he’s run out of chances to put Clinton away. Now, with the next big contest looming in PA, she’s the one favored and riding the momentum. I’m sure that Clinton will raised $20-30M, more than enough, to win, even if Obama does raise $50M in March. The national poll numbers have already swung back to favor Clinton. With the potential of having FL & MI contests, it’ll be up to Obama to upset the equation, starting in Pennsylvania. Are super-delegates are going to be swayed to vote for a candidate that loses the trifecta of PA/MI/FL, but points to a delegate lead due to wins in Republican states like a caucus like WY and a primary in MS? I doubt it.
I should add that neither Obama or Clinton has, or can possibly have within reason, the number of delegates needed to win this outright. A rule of thumb I have for recognizing the campaign that’s ‘losing’ at the moment is to listen to which one is making their argument based on ‘the math’ or ‘the numbers’ of the delegates that are nevertheless not enough– this won’t be won on a technicality.
