Just remember for tomorrow - Texas has early voting, and it was trending 5:1 Democratic

[Hawkeye-X]

and at that point, Obama was winning approximately 9 states (2 more was added later) - so the early voters may have *TRENDED* towards Obama.

Another point I have to make out - the way the Texas is proportioned, it greatly favors Obama to take in more delegates than expected, so I expect him to win Texas decisively DESPITE the polls saying it's a tie. People do tend to forget that little important fact I just said above.....

So either way, I have to applaud to Hillary for her efforts, but I'm afraid it was all for naught, and she must concede the primary tomorrow night once it's confirmed that Obama has won Texas and kept his delegate lead, and it would not matter if Obama wins Ohio or not, he has to keep it close (which he will). Vermont goes for Obama, and RI will be also a close fight, but it may end up going to Clinton by a very small margin.

Mathematically, once again, if the scenario goes as stated above, then Hillary will have no other choice by to concede to Obama, unify the party. But I must warn Hillary supporters, if Hillary refuses to concede by Wednesday, it'll be war, and it won't be pretty, and will drag the Democratic Party down with it, and I, for one, DO NOT wish to see that to happen.

Hillary must be gracious tomorrow night and step aside. She does not have to endorse Obama if she choose not to. At this point, the Democratic Party must rally and unify around Barack Obama, and focus on John McCain and go to war against the Republicans, and that is what we need at this point, not a civil war amongst the Democratic Party. Just remember who the REAL enemy this year is.

1. The Real Enemy is McCain of the GOP...the Party of NEOCONs and PNACers

who use us small guys like Pawns in a Chess Game....they are EXPLOITORS....lacking Empathy for the masses....

The GOP will fight like hell but in the end....

LOSE THEIR ASSES to TRUTH and SANITY

3. It is not necessarily true that Hillary will continue to be negative....

What would hurt the Democratic Party would not be Hillary continuing to run....but continuing to run a negative, mud-slinging, character assassination, tag-teaming with McCain. THAT is what we have seen this past couple of weeks, in stark contrast to the grace Hillary displayed at the TX debate.

Maybe Hillary will smarten up. It will be the SDs who decide this ultimately. They are not going to be impressed if Hillary is hurting the democratic party by mudslinging the likely nominee. I think there is going to be tremendous pressure on Hillary to campaign on a more positive note, and end this mud-fest.

So if we see the "nice Hillary" morph out again in the next few weeks, remember: you read it here first!
