I voted Clinton this time. There´s no indication yet that Obama makes up enough ground to carry CA, NY, NJ, AR, MN and CT. With a NH win that might have been a lot easier for him, but now I think Clinton will win all 6 of them, and it doesn´t matter if Obama wins NV and SC. If he really gets the mojo back after a SC win that may all change though.

My gut tells me that Clinton wins NV and Obama wins SC.  We shall see, however.

As long as Ted Kennedy quits calling him Osama, I'm sticking with Obama.

You will be hearing a lot more people in the upcoming days on both the Democratic and Republican referencing him as Barack Hussein Obama, I can guarantee you that.

I agree - I think thats probably likely.  Although, Obama has more of a chance in Nevada than Clinton does in South Carolina - Nevada feels wide-open if only because of the lack of polling.

Both Clinton and Obama will be neck-and-neck during the upcoming primaries and caucuses that there will be no clear winner even up until the Democratic National Convention.  When push comes to shove, though, I predict that Hillary Clinton will eventually secure the nomination, but only through a brokered convention.

I'd say Obama is the underdog once again.

if I were giving odds, I'd say Clinton 66.6% chance of winning the nomination

Appropriate.

Appropriate.

I was hoping someone would catch that.  Smiley  I was going to say 2-1, but this is much better.
