By my estimation, you're another set of states that got it right. And yet again, it's a sweep by considerable margins. If memory serves, the smallest victory was 25 points or so. Barack has won 23 of 34 races. I find that absolutely astounding. The country is speaking.

There's still a long way to go, and yes, I still see the nomination as Hillary's to lose, but I really have the feeling that Hillary is on the wrong (as in unfortunate) side of history here. I watched her speech from El Paso tonight and saw Barack's speech from Wisconsin. You can just feel the difference between the two of them. You can see the difference in the people's faces. It seems that the Democratic Party is changing right under our very feet and it seems like it's Barack who's leading that change.

I don't want to pile it on, but Hillary didn't mention Barack or congratulate him on his victories tonight. I find that petty. It's not the first time she's done that. I don't think it'll make that much of a difference to the typical voter, but it makes a difference with me. And I hate that she's all but ceding Wisconsin already. It just reaffirms my admiration for Barack's strategy of winning every state, no matter how big or small. It's paying off, delegate by delegate.

I think that Barack donors are going to smell blood now and donate like there's no tomorrow.

I'm getting a little more hopeful about Texas. I think Texas could be a bit of a toss-up at this point. But if I had to guess, I'd guess that Austin is Obama Country.

I remember hearing one person who said that she's going to have to decisively win Ohio and Texas to stay in this. As far as delegates go, I couldn't agree more.

The Beltway voters already did their job. Now it's time for Texas AlamObamans to get fired up and ready to go.

More to come later (tomorrow) in the comments section.
