Hillary Clinton's keeping her eyes on Texas. It's the most productive and smartest thing to do, since Maine, Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington, and now, Virginia, Maryland, and DC have all gone to Barack Obama. His wins weren't by particularly small margins, either. Last night, Obama swept the Potomac primaries, winning 75 percent of the vote in DC (big surprise), 60 percent in Maryland, and 64 percent in Virginia.

The most interesting thing about his wins, which were expected by both candidates, is that Obama was able to expand his base. Unlike in many previous contests, Obama won the majority of whites, blacks, women, Latinos and older voters. The theory that only blacks and young people are voting for Obama didn't apply this time around. Lower income and working class voters favor Hillary Clinton. It's for this reason, and the fact that she is still believed to have the Latino vote on lock, that Clinton's next very good bet (aka sure thing) is Texas, where she's hoping to make up the delegates she lost over the past few days. She's also banking on Pennsylvania and Ohio.

According to CNN, Barack Obama is now a slight frontrunner with a delegate count of 1,215 to Clinton's 1,190.

This could all change if the delegates from Michigan and Florida do get seats at the convention, even though the DNC barred them because the states held their primaries too early. Julian Bond is calling for the DNC to rectify the situation, citing voter disenfranchisement in Florida, where the candidates did not campaign, and in Michigan, where only Clinton's name was on the ballot. In my opinion, the voters are disenfranchised either way, and this is something that the states and the DNC should have worked out before the candidates agreed not to campaign and put their names on ballots and before Democratic voters were told their votes didn't count. Unless they hold another election, reinstating the delegates will be just as unfair — particularly in Michigan — as barring them in the first place.
