It appears to me that Obama will be the democratic nominee unless the super delegates take it away from him. He has won ten in a row. The Clinton campaign is depending on Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania to pull Hillary out of the ditch. I really don't think that will happen. It appears that Hillary is losing ground in Texas and Pennsylvania. With Teamsters endorsing Obama yesterday that will go a long way to eroding support in Ohio. It won't surprise me if Obama wins all three states but it is a must win for Hillary in order to keep her campaign alive.
Romney and Huckabee have suspended their campaigns. Now might be a good time for them to revive those campaigns, just to say they are still in the race even though they can't get enough delegates. The accusations made last night against McCain by the New York Times, whether true or not, will harm the McCain campaign. It is my belief that if he is the republican nominee the republicans will be giving up the White House. The democrats will turn this into a character race and there will be too many doubts about McCain.
One thing this story has done is begin to unite the conservatives, especially the conservative talk show hosts. They have been criticizing and haranguing McCain since he became the front runner. Now they are rallying to defend and support him. How fickle!
At this point it will not surprise me if McCain is forced to step aside and release his delegates either before or during the convention. This may sound far fetched but it is my prediction, especially if the accusers, the former aides, come forward or are disclosed. After the fiasco with Bill Clinton lying to the country and getting away with it the public is not ready to elect a president that may/may no be guilty of the same thing.
