Hillary = foot in mouth...

Hillary made this quote while campaigning during 2007 in Iowa:

"I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a woman governor, senator or member of Congress," Clinton told the paper. "There has got to be something at work here. How can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That's not the quality. That's not the communitarianism, that's not the openness I see in Iowa."

Obama is running radio ads in Mississippi featuring this quote. Hillary has apologized for it, but the damage is done. Obama already had an advantage there (40% of the electorate is black, only 1% is Hispanic) but now this gives him a chance to run up the score even more in that particular state. Big "oops" for Hillary on this one.

Hillary only leads in the polls in like 3 of the primaries/caucuses left. Even if Florida and Michigan get to revote, it's not gonna help her. Before Pa. rolls around, Obama will just build up his lead again, and Hillary might be able to knock a few dozen delegates off of it, but it's not gonna be enough. He will win Wyoming Saturday, Mississippi next week, then he'll be off and running again.

The argument that he can't win the big states in the general election because he's not winning them now is dumb. He's running against a democrat in the primaries. In the general election, he'll be running against McCain, huge difference. The distaste with Bush and the crappy economy will doom him. Just like 92 and the other Bush.
