Z, Looks like he's going to end the night roughly even in delegates I don't believe that. Hillary must be ahead of the earned delegates, because she won much bigger states. Then, there are of course the Super Delegates, and she has an edge on those. which rumor has it will get him the Gore endorsement Gore obviously wanted to avoid the debacle that his last endorsement was (endorsing Dean almost on the eve of the screech). Maybe he voted too long. I think Gore's endorsement would have counted more than any other endorsement Obama got so far. And because it didn't come before Super Tuesday, Hillary is walking away with more delegates than she would have, had Gore endored Obama before Super Tuesday. Joe

The delegate count means little right now. What's more important is she won CA and that's very bad. If Obama can't break the Clinton stranglehold on Latinos, he won't get the nomination. Its as simple as that. Wow. I can't believe you're negative about tonight. This seems like a good night for him. Looks like he's going to end the night roughly even in delegates (which rumor has it will get him the Gore endorsement), and will have won 14 of the 24 states. And, even is good, because he raised three times the amount of money she did in January. With CA under her belt, Hillary will have no trouble raising money. Had she lost CA she would have been for all practical purposes heading for the door. CA gave major new life to the Clinton campaign. Plus, CA is the big kahuna for the Dems in the national race in November. If Obama can't keep CA from the GOP, then the Dems can't risk running him......and there is a good chance Latinos might jump ship and go to McCain in a national race featuring him and Obama esp because McCain's the only GOPer soft on illegal immigrants. And I will never understand why Obama left CA to his surrogates to campaign in Clinton's backyard. I think it must have been an ego thing. And when you let your ego get in the way, there are always problems. Having said that, he has a problem with Latinos in general. Even in ILL, he was only able to get 52% of the Latino vote, and of course, ILL is his home state. And I don't know how you get Latinos, esp CA Latinos, to vote for a black man. I think the momentum is in his favor, but still, anything can happen. Cheer up, American Spirit of Obama! He didn't lost tonite but it was a setback.......he has to do very well going forward to stay in this race.
