Senator Clinton lost tonight's primary election in Wisconsin. And not only did she fail to even mention the contest but failed the traditional congratulations to her opponent. This is not the only time she has chosen to act in this way.
It appears that she has had to combat the public perception of being aloof and callous. An indictment often leveled by our friends on some of the radio stations espousing the views from the other side of the aisle. Unfortunately, the very public actions and reactions of herself and her husband have not gone far to dispel this perception or to soften an otherwise hard persona.
The upcoming primary elections in Texas and Ohio are absolutely crucial to the Clinton campaign. And not only must she win every remaining state, she must do so by a 60-40% margin. Something she has not been able to do in any of the contests up till now. And now that Senator Obama has all momentum, which results in a lot of free publicity via the press coverage of his successes (everybody loves a winner!), it is going to be quite difficult for Clinton to pull off this feat.
And the word on the political street is that if Senator Obama gains a lead in elected delegates of 100-150 over and above the number amassed by Clinton, the superdelegates will have A LOT of pressure to vote with the clear will of the majority of Americans in the Democratic party.
