"This is a day they clearly thought they could put a punctuation mark on this, and they're NOT going to do it." -- David Plouffe (Manager for Obama Campaign) on Super Tuesday's result.

It's a tough call yet but the momentum is certainly on Obama's favor. As I said in some other thread, he's not just popular among young voters, blacks and in cities, but he's slowly but surely gaining momentum in rural counties and some of the whitest states imaginable. His popularity has gone past the boundaries of race, cast, gender, color, age and religion. His win in Caucuses of Utah, Minnesota, Idaho, North Dakota and Kansas is an indication of the same. IMO, from here on, only a stupid mistake would let him down and I don't see it coming from the young, energetic and vibrant Illinois senator who has vowed, time and again, to bring us the change we've been craving for. I know it's just a speech and that's what politicians make but if I have to trust somebody on speeches, I will trust my man Obama. I wish if he could do better among Latino and Asian American Voters though and I hope it's just the California. Fingers crossed on that.

Within one remarkable month, he erased Clinton's double-digit lead in national polls, raised more than twice as much money ($32 million to $13.5 million of Clinton). I believe, Obama will have the time and money to march his formidable team into the next battlegrounds: Louisiana, Nebraska (recent endorsement from the Governor of Omaha, Mike Fahey is encouraging already) and Washington State. He is well positioned in Maine, Virgina and Maryland as well.

"We are the hope for the future,the answer to the cynics who tell us our house must stand divided... It's a choice between having a debate with the other party about who has the most experience in Washington or about who can change Washington, because that's a debate that we can win." -- Obama

GO OBAMA!

(PS. I ain't sexist so my heartfelt sympathy for Hillary and her avid fans/followers )
