Barack Obama swept another pair of states last night, giving the Illinois senator victories in 10 primaries or caucuses in a row (or 12 if you count the US Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia, which do award delegates). He is now the undisputed front runner, and Hillary Clinton needs to stop him in both Texas and Ohio on March 4 or her campaign would be over.Obama took the Wisconsin primary last night by 17% and the Hawaii caucus by a whopping 52%. The Associated Press delegate tally now has 1,319 for Obama and 1,245 for Clinton. The latest poll in Texas shows the New York senator in a virtual dead heat with her opponent, where she had been leading comfortably all along.
Is Obama's momentum too powerful to overcome? Will Clinton pull out all the stops to damage her opponent, risking the Democratic Party's chances in November?

Who would have thought? Our next president could be a White Sox fan?Here's to hoping that we have another president from IL. The last one to come from IL did a pretty good job and I am not talking about Reagan.
Obama's momentum has become too great, I don't think Hillary has a chance to overcome it. People are becoming more and more aware of his potential. Personally, I think its his post-primary victory rallies he's holding. Even I find myself chanting "Yes we can!" when watching those. He's most certainly is a charismatic individual.
I've got a good feeling that he's going to win this one. The only thing that would have a chance of stopping this locomotive-power campaign would be Hillary declaring Bill as her running mate... And personally, I think that would be a cheap tactic if she did so while Barack was in the lead!
I'm just hoping for change. That's all that really matters to me. Change! Change! Change!
Bill can't be her running mate as he is not eligible to become president. More proof that there is a God.
Oh yeah, did you know that if your total family income is $75k, you're rich according to Sen. Obama?
As an Obama supporter, I would like to see him win the nomination and the presidency. But remember what we have all learned from New Hampshire: media momentum doesn't always carry the day. It was not so long ago that Giuliani and Romney were considered front runners by the media.
