I have no doubt that when the dust settles from Super Tuesday the Clintons will emerge on top, more states, more delegates. But Obama will have closed the gap considerably, and the contest will go on. I think its entirely possible for Obama to overtake the Clintons after today. But I agree with Slackie, "Clinton still likely has the edge with Democratic Party/DLC insiders and K Street clout", and that will probably be enough to edge out Obama in the end.
What ever happens Hillary Clinton loses. Either she'll lose the nomination to a surging Obama, or she'll lose the general election to John McCain.
I will say, the moment the Clinton's secure the nomination any sence of excitement will drain out of this election. The young voters, the independants, the disenfranchised will fall away. It will be a dreary campaign played out for Clinton cultists and conservative war mongers.
