I said this in the other thread, but he's still got an uphill battle.  He needs to run the table between now and March 4 and then he needs a definitive win in Texas and/or Ohio.  He needs to simply win a big state.  But to convince the superdelegates he needs a DEFINITIVE win of a big state.  

But, he can worry about that tomorrow. Tonight was a good night for him.  Not a perfect night.  Not even a great night.  But a good night.

Not Texas, the Hispanic vote is huge. I hope he wins Ohio. It's crucial in November.

By the way, per CNN, eleven million Democrats voted today compared to 7 million Republicans.  That's a 61-39 split.  And how many of these states were Gore-Kerry states?  Only a few of them (although many of the large ones).

Sounds like the Dems win no matter who the nominee is.  Or at least that's what the Clintons will claim.

Don't count on it. CA and NV Hispanics voted the same but AZ Hispanics were more favorable toward Obama. With a little work, Texas Hispanics could move to Obama in a big way. Right now, Obama is an unknown to them still. He didn't introduce himself to them early enough.They need to learn that Hillary has no plans to address their immigration issues in her first term and Obama actually intends to tackle them in his first year. This was a big failure of the Obama campaign. He needs to get Chris Dodd (and others) out there speaking fluent Spanish on his behalf to get this across. Hillary is using these people just like she uses gays and used to use blacks. She has no intention of helping these people but plays them for suckers.

Well maybe he can put together Ohio and Pennsylvania (I hear that's a big state).

The remaining big states are TX, OH & PA. Obama has a lot of work over the next few weeks to peel voters from four demographics where he is getting crushed - Hispanics, Asians, blue collar workers and those over 60. He can't win these big states and specially TX without making a significant dent among these segments.
