AND IS..
The Clinton campaign still reeling from the events of yesterday. .Not only did Senator Obama score knockout punches against Hillary Clinton in Virginia, D.C., and Maryland, but he tossed her campaign to the side like an old bag of garbage.. Something from the 20th century that was still hanging around..
Great statues of Mrs. Clinton being toppled .. Great icons of the 1990s becoming that of history. And only history.
In present tense, Obama has now been crowned the new king of front-runners..
The media is crazy over him. Chris Matthews' coverage of Obama's landslides last night included comments that his legs were tingling from the Obama-mania.
Democrats seem to be going wild over her.. He won over Hispanics last night.. he won over women .. he won over seniors.. He even won over a former Clinton campaign manager ..
He definitely won over the media. Coverage of his speech last night continued from beginning to end.. no networks broke away to show the victory rally that John McCain held.
He's even winning over Republicans. In the 1980s, the Reagan coalition was broadened with "Reagan Democrats." In 2008, there are Obamacans.. Republicans turning to him due to his stance on the war.. and on 'change' and hope. Just what that hope is .. or that change is .. is still in high-powered words.
The Obama campaign has now charted a new course: They say they can't be stopped.
But in Texas.. Ohio .. Pennsylvania .. Maybe he can be.
A few things are still unclear: PA Governor Rendell, a Clinton supporter, suggested that some whites may still not be ready for a black president.. Texas still has a huge voting block of Hispanics.. Ohio and PA have a lot of elderly people. Obama's final test will be these states. If he pulls it off, Hillary is effectively done. He would show he has a broader coalition than she can ever imagine having.
But.. with three weeks to go, and two desperate Clintons, this entire thing can quickly turn around.. leaving us with the dull choice of 20th century candidates in November.
