Must View:

Hillary's Hopes Fading

Must Read:

1.  Potomac Primary Results:  Check out the details.  Some good analysis.

2. InTrade: Obama seems to be a better bet for the nomination and the Presidency than at any time since Iowa.

3. Inside the Clinton Shakeup.  I would have titled this, "Why Judgement trumps Experience on the campaign trail", but I'm kinda long-winded like that.

4.  John McCain's Imaginary Military Support:  McCain does not pull the majority of the military vote, and currently ranks third in raising $ from military donors.

5.  RCP Horserace Blog Nation-Wide Exit Poll analysis:

All in all, this implies a rough parity from here until the end of the primary season. Approximately speaking, neither candidate seems to have an advantage in the remaining contests. So, my suggestion to readers is not to get caught up in the "Obama is inevitable" storyline. Minimally, we should all remember how well the "Clinton is inevitable" storyline worked out five months ago!

6.  Obama takes on new aura of momentum:  This is precisely the storyline we should absolutle NOT get stuck in.  Obama is not a lock.  He is 10 points down, and there is no time left.  This recent quote should be our mantra:  "Obama will be the challenger and insurgent until the day Hillary Steps aside."
And last but not least, the daily McCain flip-flop.  Iraq - "A walk at the beach":
