The Battle Clinton Didn't Expect

On such an important Tuesday for the democratic primaries (some are calling it Super Tuesday II), I thought this was an interesting article. It discusses how different the race would have been had Obama not been a part of it. Hilary's campaign has probably been planned for quite some time and with the entrance of Obama, the article states that she hasn't been able to really catch her breath until the past two weeks. The author brings up an interesting point (actually brought up by a Clinton supporter) when he says that Clinton ran the last campaign of the 20th century and Obama ran the first of the 21st. Tonight's results should be interesting...hopefully they end the suspense.

I found this article to be very interesting as well. It seems the entry of Obama really took away many of the voters that Clinton would have successfully had with out any question. I believe with the writer when he states that if Obama does end up winning everything when it is all said it done, many historians will probably look at him as the next FDR in the fact on how he changed so much in so little time.
