Open Thread

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking points:

  • Drudge is reporting (via Rasmussen) that Obama's now ahead of Clinton by four points in Texas. Meanwhile, Rasmussen shows Hillary's lead in Ohio slipping. Is Tuesday the end of the road for Hillary's presidential run this year? Will she concede next week, or continue to hang in the race despite the futility? Assuming the former, are you planning to celebrate, or despair because you're more worried about Obama?
  • Speaking of Barack, Rasmussen finds people more comfortable with McCain on national security, Iraq, and the economy. As these three issues are probably most important to Americans at this point in time, doesn't this suggest that the current Obama inevitability is just as errant as Hillary's six months ago? Once the primaries are over, and the real campaign begins, how is a three-year senator going to prove his bona fides in these areas compared to a war hero that has been in Congress for 25 years?
