The Obama express continues to roll on in overwhelming victories in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland. The results were: VA – Obama 64%; Clinton 34% DC - Obama 75%; Clinton 24% MD – Obama 60%; Clinton 37%.
The total delegates needed to win the democratic nomination are 2025. The current delegate scorecard reads: Obama 1253 and Hillary 1211; this number could change when the remaining superdelegates decide which candidate they support.
Furthermore, Clinton has suffered critical and high level shake-ups in her campaign team and was forced to lend $5,000,000 of her own money to her campaign. These recent events has increased the pressure for her to do exceedingly well on the March 4th primaries in Ohio and Texas.
The question now becomes: Can Obama withstand the glare of being a frontrunner? We understand how this youthful and charismatic man has charmed voters and the press. His message of unity and hope resonates well. Yet, we understand, the far-right (or should we say the far-wrong) propaganda machine is awaiting the opening of Obama hunting season. They, unlike Hillary Clinton, do not lose points from their base if they play cheap and dirty. These scurrilous people will try to either Willie Horton or Swift Boat Obama.
The march continues…
Oh, one other thing, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, please stay off the stage. You two have got to know how the opposition will use you (baggage and all) to marginize Obama (that was code for: scare white folks). You two had more than your share of the center stage; hence, please do not become a campaign issue.
