Today's news indicates that Obama is decisively winning the delegate count in Texas.
Yet, the Sunday talking heads speak of Hillary's "momentum" and still refuse to concede that she's beaten.

Part of that "momentum" was her alleged victory in Texas during Super Tuesday Part Deux in early March. Well, if Obama has handily won the delegate count in Texas, doesn't that remove a chunk of that "momentum?"

The talking heads still give this scenario of Hillary winning PA, IN and NC which will lead to the superdelegates swing to her side and give her the nomination.

In my opinion it's all part of the media plan to keep the perception of turmoil and dissension in the Democratic race in people's minds, helping McCain's chances of becoming president. It's also my belief that the media want Hillary to be the nominee because she is such a polarizing figure and they can sit back and watch the RW smear machine go nuts and give them a bunch of material to play during the election season.
