Super Tuesday Settles Little for Obama/Clinton



"Super Tuesday" may have brought clarity to the GOP landscape but did little to determine which way the pendulum will swing for the Dems. Hillary Clinton had strong showings as expected in New York and California, also winning outright in Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Senator Obama won 13 states in total and continues to surge in certain polls and is raising more money than Google.


Obama campaign plans to consolidate certain of the middle America states to offset delegate rich sure thing's for Clinton went off glowingly. The Illinois senator took home Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Kansas, and perhaps most surprisingly, Missouri, where Senator Clinton had at one time polled significantly higher than her opponent.


It will be interesting to see how the media plays this contentious battle out to the public. Senator Clinton has shown that she would like as many opportunities as possible to publicly debate Senator Obama in order to cost-effectively optimize public visibility while he has recently said he would most likely opt out of a tentative February 27th Ohio debate, not surprisingly, as his fund raising machine is in full swing. Senator Clinton just 'loaned' her campaign a cool 5 mil, but one must still think she is in little trouble of finding plenty of available sources for funding her prodigious campaign straight through to the end.
