Do you all feel it?
I think the last few days Obama has turned the corner. I think he put Wright behind him with his Tuesday comments and has been very good since on the stump opposing the gimmicky and pandering of McCain and Hillary with the gas tax holiday which will help him, I believe, with independent voters in both NC and Indiana. His speech at the JJ dinner in NC was incredible and his appearance with Russert today was excellent. I'm encouraged by the latest Zogby tracking polls (though I'd like to see other polls showing gains for him, I imagine tomorrow other pollsters will have new numbers out) and the latest CBS News poll has him gaining ground on Hillary and McCain nationally. I'm feeling very up tonight.

1. the math isn't there for Hillary
It hasn't been there since before Ohio even. She needed to take something like 70% of the vote in Ohio AND Texas to have a shot at it. She needed more than 60% of PA.

This has been continued by a greedy media enjoying the ratings boom and a candidate and lackeys so desperate for power they keep playing when the game is over.

I'm disturbed that anyone who said, "Hillary doesn't have the math," gets no coverage.

Obama just needs to wait it out. The Superdelegates will continue their migration to him as well.

3. I caught the last few minutes of HRC's speech, and all of the
hand-shaking afterwards, and it was much, much, much lower energy than Obama an hour later.

4. They booed her
Maybe they shouldn't have but they did.

It really hurt the feelings of the Clinton supporters.
Amazing, I didn't know they had real feelings.
