Obama Wins Maine; Team Clinton Begins to Panic


This was a good weekend for the Obama campaign. They won the state caucus in Maine today. On Saturday, Obama won in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington and the US Virgin Islands. The clean sweep of all five weekend contests gives him a 19-10 lead in the state contests that have been held to date. His victory margins are substantial in recent contests.

Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign showed signs of panic by firing campaign manager Patty Doyle in favor of a new campaign manager, Maggie Williams.

Obama and Clinton now head into a series of contests on Tuesday: Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

It appears that we are entering into one of those tipping moments in the campaign. Can Obama win the Virginia primary? More importantly, can he win the Ohio or Texas primaries that are coming up in a few weeks? I see that the Cleveland Plain-Dealer endorsed Obama this weekend. It would be a remarkable moment if he can upset Team Clinton in Ohio (my home state). That could be a death-knell for the Clinton campaign if it happens.

How are you feeling about the election today? What say u?
