      How the Air Came Out of Clinton's Tires

      Hillary Clinton’s campaign was happiest, and picked up the most steam, late in the game, as divisive staffers departed, the blue-collar vote moved into her column and the candidate found her comfort zone. The Washington Post examines the Democrat's final months, noting its rejuvenation after Texas and Ohio victories, and the marked resignation after North Carolina and Indiana results went bad. More »

      Obama Appears To Gain in Texas Delegate Count

      Barack Obama apparently overtook Hillary Clinton in Texas’ pledged-delegate count after this weekend’s regional Democratic conventions netted him seven to nine more at-large delegates than Clinton, the Houston Chronicle reports. “We can confirm now that Barack Obama won Texas,” an aide said after the campaign's math gave the Illinois senator a five-delegate lead; Clinton's camp puts Obama's edge at three.

      GOP Spoilers Are Fueling Clinton Surge

      Republicans for Clinton are turning up in surprising numbers, and not because they've stopped being Hillary haters, the Boston Globe reports. About 100,000 voted for her in Ohio, 119,0000 in Texas, and 38,000 in MIssissippi. Egged on by Rush Limbaugh, they're strategically voting in open primaries for the Democrat  they consider weaker—and the best way keep the brutal Democratic battle alive. More »

      Where's Paul? Still Running

      John McCain has knocked out the last of his Republican opponents, right? Ron Paul begs to differ. "I'm still involved, nothing has changed," he told MSNBC after successfully defending his Texas congressional seat in the GOP primary. Paul has no plans to drop out and will resume traveling the country preaching his small-government credo. He'd even address the convention. "It would be nice," he said. "They may not want me to."

      Candidates Spin Tuesday: Math vs. Momentum

      Hillary Clinton's victories in Texas and Ohio changed little in the race for pledged delegates—by some estimates she netted only five—but Tuesday's primaries changed the dynamic of the Democratic contest, the Wall Street Journal reports. The candidates have divergent arguments: Barack Obama's team says the math favors him; Clinton's claims she should be the nominee if momentum lies with her. More »

      Obama Claims Texas Caucus Win

      With caucus results still coming in last night, Barack Obama's camp projects a victory for their candidate in Texas delegates. While Clinton won the Tuesday primary by a thin margin, netting her 65 delegates to Obama’s 61, Obama appears to have prevailed in the caucuses later that night, giving him a net delegate victory as big as 99-94, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

      Long Fight Threatens Dems

      Hillary Clinton's victories in Texas and Ohio herald a long, ugly scrap for the Democratic nomination—and the big loser may be the party, reports Newsweek . It remains unknown how many delegates the New York senator won last night, but Clinton can now brush aside calls for her to end her candidacy as the race moves to its next big battleground: Pennsylvania, six weeks away on April 22.

      Clinton: Dream Ticket Is Possible

      Hillary Clinton today hinted that she’d be willing to bury the hatchet and share a ticket with Barack Obama, the AP reports. “That may be where this is headed,” Clinton told CBS’ The Early Show, “but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.” More »

      Accusations Fly During Texas Two-Step Tussle

      The two-step voting process in Texas caused Democratic tempers to flare last night, the Washington Post reports. Both sides accused each other of trying to hijack the evening caucus which followed the day's primary vote. The Clinton campaign held a  conference call with reporters to level some dirty-tricks accusations at the Obama camp—only to find an Obama lawyer listening in.   More »

      Hillary Wins in Texas, Ohio Built on Loyal Base

      Hillary Clinton pulled off victories in both Texas and Ohio largely by wooing back her Democratic base, according to Politico . Exit polls show that Hispanics and white women favored Clinton, while blacks favored Obama by a huge margin, and white men were split—similar to Super Tuesday. But white men appeared to provide the crucial "swing vote" in Ohio with 55% going to Clinton. The candidate has picked up 15 percentage points with white women and about 20 points with white men since Wisconsin. More »

      3 Takes on Today's Showdown

      March 4 has been a long time coming, and now political writers can’t be bothered to wait until the polls close in Ohio and Texas. Three early takes on today’s results: Josh Marshall sees a late-in-the-game turn in Hillary Clinton’s favor, and expects “minor or major crowing” from her camp tonight. Barack Obama's aura has become so bright that Clinton may come out with a net delegate loss and still get “a major shot in the arm.” More »

      Clinton's Strategy: Pray for Rain

      With delegate math and the campaign narrative both against her, Hillary Clinton’s current strategy is simply to hope for the best, Politico reports. “Some other, yet unknown, turn of events” must conspire to help her out—and Clintonites are looking to Barack Obama’s recent spate of bad press and fresh chatter about another crack at a Florida primary.

      Clinton Yuks It Up on Daily Show

      On the eve of primary contests that could sink or save her campaign, Hillary Clinton turned up on The Daily Show for some good-natured ribbing from host Jon Stewart. "Tomorrow is perhaps one of the most important days of your life, and you've chosen to spend the night before talking to me," observed the pseudo-newscaster, to which Clinton could only respond: "It is pretty pathetic."

      While acknowledging success for Mike Huckabee is "mathematically impossible," the Dallas Morning News today endorsed the ex-Arkansas governor. The editorial board praised his “good-natured approach to politics” and acknowledged that its continuing support is more symbolic than practical, calling a vote for Huckabee “a good investment in the Republican Party's future.” More »

      Obama Up by 4 in Texas; Clinton Leads by 1 in Ohio

      Hillary Clinton trails Barack Obama by 4% in Texas and holds a statistically meaningless 1-point lead in Ohio just two days ahead of what could be defining contests in both states, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/ Houston Chronicle poll released today. But "it's way too close in both states to say either one has a significant advantage," pollster John Zogby said. More »

      Clinton Trying to Undercut Texas Vote: Obama

      Barack Obama’s camp yesterday accused Hillary Clinton of unfairly slamming the upcoming Texas primary-caucus vote, McClatchy Newspapers reports. The issue arose over a report that Clinton may sue over caucus voting numbers being reported early. “I think they’re afraid of what the caucus results might be,” said an Obama strategist. More »

      Obama Riffs on Clinton Scare Ad

      Barack Obama threw Hillary Clinton's "red phone" ad right back at her yesterday—with a twist, the Chicago Tribune reports. Clinton's ad showed sleeping children, with a voice intoning that it's 3am, and a phone is ringing the White House. “Who do you want answering the phone?” Barack's rejoinder, with almost identical imagery: “When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one—the only one—who had the judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start?”  More »
