I could be wrong, but that seems like an awful big hill to climb. I think people want closure and Super Tuesday should give them opportunity for that.

I know you like Obama a lot, but I think the Clintons are doing a good job of making him look like a lightweight. They goad and he responds, which is not the image he banks on; conclusion: politics is indeed a dirty, scrappy business. In a way, they are destroying the imagery that makes him so popular. Obama wants to stay above the fray, bringing people together for the common good. He can't do that if he's constantly swatting at the Clinton flies.

Florida doesn't count, and Pennsylvania and New Jersey likely will go to Clinton as northeastern states. Obama can then take the midwest and south, and do well in the west. Luckily for Obama, NY is also a proportional delegate state, or he would be in trouble. For Republicans, NY and Cal. are winner take all.
