Anyone who sees Super Tuesday as a big win for Clinton is downright delusional. The situation is clearly quite the reverse. In fact - given the history of Clinton's long national lead - anything short of a big win for Clinton is clearly a loss - since it proves that Obama has all of the momentum (Really, Rebecca, what are you up to here? Casting Clinton as the one who was supposed to lose - so that when she ties it looks like SHE has the momentum? Pretty transparent politicking on your part, if you ask me).
And as it looks now, the final delgate count may well even favour Obama for Tuesday - which would be a complete disaster for Clinton.
Here is why - all of the pending primaries (Nebraska, Louisiana, and Washington - February 9) (DC, Maryland, and Virginia - February 12) - all favour Obama - and will favour him all the more given this big night. Then - there is a strong liklihood that momentum gained in these states will finally push him ahead in the final holdouts, Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (that is, if he doesn't pull ahead after yesterday).
