Look at the trajectory in OH and TX. Obama started off 20 points behind, but could not close gap.

1. I agree

To call this a defeat for Obama is very shortsighted. The numbers show him closing a 30 point gap in a matter of weeks.

5. Hush. Don't you know they have to SPIN this as a BIG win for Hillary.

After getting everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him this past week, Obama is getting to kick ass and take names. LOL!

2. Well, that just seems to prove that he's trending in the right direction.

I'm wondering if exit polls asked Dem voters if they plan to support the eventual nominee?

6. The exit polls in both OH and TX had Obama winning electability by 52-44 in OH, 52-41 in TX.

Go figure.

Barack Obama is all class this morning on the news shows, and is making me very proud we have a candidate of his calibre, and who will be our Democratic nominee.

3. Nice Try

I'll give ya credit though. You guys sure know how to make lemon aide. Get used to it. print those poll numbers out and use them for wall paper as that is all they are good for now.

4. Exactly.

This is what is so disgusting about the Clinton and media spin.

"Hillary won BIG. Hillary came from behind!"

Uh, no. Hillary salvaged wins in States where she had big leads going in, and she did it by using Rethug tactics.

9. Hillary needed to pull five sixty-plus votes. She pulled only one.

The New England elections were a wash. She won Texas by only five, giving Obama the moral victory. And she lost the Texas caucus by twenty.

Nonetheless, the media will be awash with "Comeback kid" and "Big Mo" stories, and continue to peddle the poison about Obama being the upper-class hero's candidate. But the bottom is: Sorry, Hil, but mission NOT accomplished.

12. Obama kicked ass here in Texas, even though he didn't win. He made incredible ground.

Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 08:30 AM by sparosnare

I am delighted he did so well here and it looks as if he may take the cuacus.
