Hillary Will Win Texas and Ohio Today
Okay, so I blew it. Like many, I had Hillary dead and buried in my February 26th article, Stick a Fork in Hillary...She's Done. I guess I was a little too anxious to be done with this harridan and her whore-mongering hick husband.
I do have great antipathy for the Clintons (as you may have surmised from my words above) but I am constantly astonished at their ability to suvive seeming inevitable defeat. It appears that once again, I have underestimated the Clinton machines ability to fight back against seemingly insurmoutable odds.
So tonight, with half an hour to go in the Ohio primary, and one and a half before all of the polls in Texas close, I am going out on a limb and predict that she will win the vote in both states...I know, it's a small stretch and a low risk gamble this late in the race, but it sure looks to me like Hillary's campaign has staunched the hemorhage and made significant gains in Texas.
A week ago I wouldn't have given you a plug nickel for her chances, but I believe that she has a chance at the big prize now. She still faces an uphill battle in the delegate count race, but I won't count her out again until I hear it from her own lips.
I also know that there are a number of Texas Republicans crossing over to support Hillary in hopes of causing more chaos in the democrat party...well why not, they did it to us in New Hampshire and we wound up with McCain because of it...turn about's fair play.
I doubt however that the number of crossover voters will significantly affect the outcome. I think that Hillary pretty much did the impossible here and actually turned the race around with her retread of the "Red Phone" add and with Obama's major gaff in his nudge and a wink to the Canadian government over NAFTA.
By the way, it would appear that the NAFTA story has more legs than originally thought, as the Canadian governments response was a little too carefully worded to alieviate Obama's difficulties. It also appears that the Obama spell has been broken somewhat.
Hey everybody you should be enjoying this race. These kinds of contests are really rare and are American Electoral theater at its best.
I'm off to pop some popcorn right now. Bon Apetit!
Long Live Our American Republic!!!
