No Lowering of Expectations This Time

No surprise that Senator Clinton is once again trying to lower expectations…this time in Ohio and Texas, but it won’t work this time. Losing that many races in a row does not allow for a second chance.

The erosion of superdelegates begins…

The defection of Rep. David Scott and comments by Rep. John Lewis that he is considering a similar move are just the beginning of the erosion of Senator Clinton’s superdelegates. Some people thought they were making the “smart move” by supporting Senator Clinton, but now see how wrong they were. I remain convinced that the party will not allow this to come down to the superdelegates overriding the voters across America. If Senator Clinton does not win both Texas and Ohio on March 4th, support will solidify behind Senator Obama.
