    An excellent win...

    I think PA and OH will still be hard. WI is not like those places. The media is making them out to be similar but they are really very different. I think TX is in play for totally different reasons.

    All he has to do is tie her in TX not lose to bad in OH or PA and it is over now.

    I am curious to see if he will stick to his guns and take public financing in the general election. I think I would like that Obama vs McCain public financing. An honest conversation about where the country is going.

    I hope HRC supporters will come around. I recommend the last chapter of his first book if you are interested in knowing more about what type of person he is.
