Happy Potomac Primary Morning!    

168 phat delegates are up for the taking tonight in Virginia, Maryland and D.C. 

In a few hours, Obama will have won every state since Super Tuesday, 8 in a row, and every one of them by 20-30+ point margins. 

With everything going against the Clintons at this point - states won, vote counts, money and momentum each by a 2-to-1 difference - Bill & Hillary are now facing their first election loss in nearly 30 years. 

This is character-check time.  Whatever dirty tricks and “opposition research” the Clintons plan to use against Obama, we’re gonna see it in the next 3 weeks (leading up to Texas and Ohio on March 4^th).  Will their desperation turn ugly? 

There’s a brutal article about the sorry state of the Clinton campaign on page 1 of the New York Times today:  (doh!)

If anyone from super-delegates to supporters to “undecideds” read this . . . I mean, it really should be on the obit page! 

Democratic voters have to put this nomination away for Obama, and fast, because we want to avoid any kind of an indelicate delegate debacle.

This has been a wonderfully and cleanly-waged primary, epitomized by that L.A. debate, the two of them sitting side-by-side and laughing, and saying they were friends before this and will be friends after this. 

I’m just praying that the Clintons keep it that way.  With elimination and the end of the dream staring them in the face — do they become vicious dogs, or elder statesmen?  They certainly failed this test in South Carolina.  Stay tuned.
