Obama Winning States As Clinton Fades Away

It was a good weekend for Barack Obama as he continued to win states after a virtual tie on Super Tuesday with Hillary Clinton. With victories in Washington State along with Louisiana and Maine, Barack Obama has momentum on his side going into the final stretch of campaign 2008. This week, contests in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia all favor Barack Obama against Hillary Clinton. Of course, Hillary could still win the democratic nomination for President. However, with each new state lost – that possibility is looking less likely.

Right now the democratic delegate count is a virtual tie, but Obama is expected to take the lead in pledged delegates by the end of the week. I believe Barack Obama is more than just a candidate for President, but instead his whole candidacy has become a movement for change in America. With the exception of social conservatives, almost everyone in the US is dissatisfied with the job performance of President Bush. That dissatisfaction with our current President has caused a ground swell of support for change in Washington and Barack Obama is seen as the agent of that change by most voters.

If by some miracle Hillary Clinton is able to wrestle the democratic nomination from Barack Obama, then she will prove herself one of the best politicians in the history of America. However, I don't think she will be able to beat the movement that is currently following Obama. This Barack Obama movement has yet to peak and it continues to grow stronger each day. Just like in the world of sports, it is almost impossible to defeat a team that has momentum on it's side.

The past two weeks, Hillary Clinton has publicly cried on more occasion than ever before. Some people believe that Hillary is crying in order to win more votes, since a crying episode was credited for helping her win in New Hampshire. However, I believe Hillary Clinton's tears are real right now because she is a smart woman that understands how hard it is to defeat a candidate with a huge amount of momentum on their side. The only real chance Hillary Clinton has at still winning the democratic nomination for President is for her to win big in Texas and Ohio early next month.

However, with weeks still to go before Hillary wins another primary, her chance of winning those two big states is looking less likely each and every day.
