Three for three for Barack Obama in the Patomac primaries. He took DC, Maryland and Virginia last night, and not by a small margin.
Meanwhile the Hillary lady flew off to Texas, the last really, really big state in the race, and talked up her campaign. She didn't mention that she has lost the last eight to Obama and his momentum.
"We're going to sweep across Texas in the next three weeks,” the former First Lady said.
"I'm tested, I'm ready, let's make it happen."
Yes, let's hope. Oh, sorry, hope is his thing.
Pennsylvania, Ohio and North Carolina are also have significant amounts of delegates. Then there is the super-delegates. There are 796 of them, about 20% of the overall total.
They are Democrat Senators, Congressmen, members of the Democratic National Committee (397 of them - big committee) and 23 distinguished party leaders, and 76 others.
The way this race is going, it could be up to them who gets the party nomination.
At present she is estimated to have 62% of these superdelegates on her side.
In any case, the Clinton campaign are fighting every inch of the way, and cannot be helped by the fact that her deputy campaign manager is reported to have resigned, just days after her campaign manager departed.
She is racking up the attacks on her opponent, 14 years her junior.
Her tactic of focusing on the big states should make sense, but remember if Obama keeps winning all the rest of the small states she could be out before the end of the race - unless the superdelegates save her.
