Settled For Some...Not So Much For Others
John McCain clinches the Republican nomination after sweeping the March 4 primaries in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont—forcing Mike Huckabee (who laid out a surefire strategy for taking the Lonestar State while playing electoral air hockey with Texas-as-puck on The Colbert Report) to drop out.
On the other side of the aisle, Hillary Clinton has a big night taking three out of four—including delegate-dense Ohio and Texas, the first by a moderately wide margin and the latter in the late-night tally—driving the Dems toward what is shaping up to be a no-good, rotten tie.
Which reminds us: ever heard of those "superdelegates"?

Obama and the burden of hope
The hope Obama brings should never be underplayed. It is a hope that is about race, America, the World, the future, and about him and me. It is a burden he has to carry. And it is a burden that he should never forget. Because it is a burden that people don't want to carry for much longer. He should never forget what this is about. He brings hope. But he also carries the hope of people who have all but given up on politics. More on this in my blog at http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/03/03/obama-dont-ever-forget-the-burden-of-hope/

Obama Maintains Significant Lead
Hillary's "big night" only netted her 12 more delegates than Barack from these 4 states. Obama maintains a delegate lead of nearly 100, including the Superdelegates and there is rumor that 50 previously undeclared Superdelegates will throw their support to him this week. That will give him the clear lead in both the regular and superdelegates. It's statistically improbale that Hillary can come out of the next months primaries with near enough delegates to beat Barack. Which means we just have to endure more of her negative attacks and fear mongering that may weaken Obama and cause damage to the Democratic party in a time when the Republicans have already united behind their candidate.
