Well jumping junipers, the democratic race for nominee

just got very serious. The junior Senator from Illinois,

Barack Obama, just secured a total of ten states, who have

held primaries or caucuses, starting on Super Tuesday.

Senator Hillary Clinton, has won zero races in that time

period.

Today, the very strong Teamsters Union gave Mr. Obama

their endorsement. A Zobey poll was released today, which

showed that the democratic voters prefer Senator Obama over

Senator Clinton, 52% to 35%. Three more Super delegates

made their choice known today, favoring Senator Obama,

thus putting him at 188, with Mrs. Clinton leading in that

categorty with 256. There is a difference of less than 100

pledged delegates, those won by winning state victories,

between the two candidates.

In order to win the nomination, from here, Senator Clinton

would have to win, it has been reported, 65% of the votes in

each of the remaining states, yet to have elections. Almost,

some would say, an impossible task. Senator Obama woould also

have to win 65% of the total votes in the remaining states,

to win the nomination. But he is ahead in delegate count, so

as he wins states, since the delegates are proportionately

divided between the two candidates, he would continue to be

ahead of Senator Clinton, but by the numbers, would not be

able to reach the total of 2,025 delegates needed.

So,

some kind of solution is going to have to be worked out before

the August convention with all involved. If Senator Clinton

drops out, her delegates would go to Senator Obama, which

would put him over the top. Mrs. Clinton appears to have

no interest in doing such a thing.

At this point in time, Senator Obama has the momentum, his

trajectory is on the rise, while Senator Clinton’s is declining

or remaining flat. The next contests will be in Ohio and Texas,

on March 4, where in Texas, Mrs. Clinton had a sizable lead over

Mr. Obama, but that lead has shrunk to two points, which is within

the margin of error, resulting in a tie between the two candidates.

Voting has already started in Texas, and the people are coming

out to participate.

The Clinton team so far, has not had any answer to the Obama

magic, which has taken on a life of its own, it is not really

about Senator Obama anymore, it is a movement now. People are

excited over the possibility of positive changes in the country,

under the leadership of a President Barack Obama. The American

people are looking for change in a big way. Senator Clinton has

to convince them otherwise, but just how do you banish hope and

inspiration? No one is about to count the Clintons out at this

point, but time and real estate are running out.

Meanwhile the

race for the nomination goes on, with Senator John McCain waiting

in the background, having assumed the potential nominee position

for the Republicans, for the democratic choice for nominee, to

be decided.
