I did see that the polls started trending back towards Clinton thru the weekend and into Tuesday. I was resigned to her winning Ohio by the time that Tuesday rolled around. (I should have updated my predictions!) But, I still was sure that Obama would win Texas. That was a shock and a big disappointment. I really wanted to close the door on Hillary yesterday.

I believe that these races changed because of two things; Hillary’s stoking of the non-existent Obama advisor talking to the Canadians about Nafta flap. This was a lie generated by the rightwing head of the Canadian government. Hillary didn’t care. She doesn’t care what she destroys as long as she wins. So, she won Ohio going away, by 10 points.

Texas apparently was won by the 3am phone call ad. That, at least, was legitimate. I don’t agree with the conclusions (really, Hillary over Obama? Really?) but, at least the ad didn’t take the low road. It just was very debatable and ultimately it helps McCain would could take that ad verbatim and run it for himself in the general.

So, I’m disappointed. And, I’m depressed about the Democrats chances in November. I still dont’ see how McCain pulls it out against either Hillary or Obama, but this gives him more of a chance, I think. And, it does because Clinton keeps hitting Obama low. So, rather than have a high-minded debate, which she will lose, she plays dirty. Obama, however, has to learn to deal with this type of disgusting attacks. It’s just too bad that Hillary didn’t show her slimy side long before now. As long as Obama learns how to deal with low-blows and hard hits, he should be fine. He has to attack her back.
