Over the last week, the new favorite in the Democratic race has become Barack Obama. Early on, it seemed like Hilary Clinton was the favorite because of her strong political ties and the money she put it into her campaign, however, with wins in Virgina, Maryland, and Washington D.C., Obama has gained quite a bit of momentum. He didn't just win those states, he dominated Clinton in them. I think it was interesting that Clinton replaced her campain manager Monday right in the middle of the race. The biggest states to watch coming up are Ohio and Texas. Bill Clinton's former chief strategist was quoted saying "If she loses either Texas or Ohio, she's done." Hilary Clinton knows this and knows how important those states are especially Texas. "I want to congratulate Senator Obama on his recent victories and tell him to meet me in Texas. We're ready," Clinton said.
As far as the Republican primary, I'm surprised that Mike Huckabee is still in the race. I feel like John McCain has pretty much wrapped it up and will represent the Republicans in the general election. It's only a matter of time now before Huckabee drops out. I did feel like Mitt Romney dropped out a little too soon. More than anything, I think Huckabee hurt his chances the most by taking strong conservatives' votes away from him.
