if she loses either, she's out. if she wins ohio, texas, she's in the game. but she would have to get 70% of the vote in each of the remaining states, mathematically speaking, to pass obama. the next big state voting is pennsylvania on april 22. clinton being urged to drop out if she doesn't win both texas and ohio. she's a worthy candidate but just isn't connecting. to be a leader is to connect.
on "meet the press," one of the talking heads said clinton is like the beach boys when the beatles came to town. they talked about the phone ad. apparently, the red phone ringing in the middle of the night ad that clinton used is old stuff. it was used by walter mondale, and george bush the first.


as much as the talking heads chattered about the pros and cons of each candidate, it doesn't appear that anyone quite gets obama yet.
