Just when people think that Hillary’s Campaign is dead and Obama is sounding more arrogant, Hillary does it again. She rebounces. This tough woman’s history in politics has been that of climbing back from dead again and again.
But I like what she said to her voters in Columbus (excerpt from CNN):
For everyone here in Ohio and across America who’s been ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up — this one is for you,” Clinton said before supporters in Columbus.
A continuation of that speech, excerpted from NY Times:
“No candidate in recent history, Democratic or Republican, has won the White House without winning the Ohio primary.” The crowd chants: “Yes she will!”
That’s nice. I actually admire this woman. Though I am not voting for her. But you know what’s the wierd thing? Despite the growing notion in the press that Clinton’s campaign is dead, I find more and more people around me are supporting her, staunchly too. Yes, it’s a small sample. But it is a sample in places where Obama is suppoesd to do well.
Let’s look at the Iowa Market again:

Interesting. Although Obama is still highly favored to win the nomination, the number actually has declined!
Why is there such a big price differential between the Clinton and Obama bets when the actual delegate vote count differential is so tiny? Maybe the Obamamania has swept through the Iowa Market also!
All eyes are now on Texas.
