The Long Road Ahead

I don't usually put a lot of stock in the words of the chatting class, but one thing that I did hear fairly unanimously over the weekend are the newly revised expectations for Hillary on March 4th.

As you may recall, it was just a week ago when her own campaign stated they were staking here whole campaign on winning both Texas and Ohio. Only a funny thing happened in the last week or so, the quirky primacaucus rules and the polls in Texas started trending heavily for Obama, while Ohio seemed to be showing that it might just hold out and give her a narrow victory (although all the numbers were from before he started campaigning heavily in the buckeye state).

The new expectation being talked up is that Hillary wins Ohio and proclaims herself reinvigorated just like Mondale in Georgia in 1984. However, it will be interesting to see if she can truly hold on in Ohio and if so, will the press really fall for this bill of goods.
