Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, (D-NY), scored comprehensive wins in Ohio and Texas. She also won in Rhode Island. Her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, (D-IL), won in Vermont. The wins helped stanch Mrs. Clinton’

s string of 11 straight losses since her big night on Super Tuesday.

The next ‘fight of the century’

figures to be in Pennsylvania in late April. And, as she did before last night, she may have to sustain another string of losses to Sen. Obama in the race to be the Democratic Party nominee for president of the United States before that primary.

Thus it always is with the Clintons, drama, emotions, whether real or cooked up.

There can be no doubt anymore that the Clintons will do whatever it takes, including damaging the eventual Democratic Party nominee, to win this nomination. For Sen. Clinton, the nomination is destiny. For former Pres. Bill Clinton, it is redemption.They are not about to stand by and let Sen. Obama, soaring rhetoric or not, get in the way of that. What Mr. Obama has to show now is how he fights.

    I am afraid now. I thought Obama was going to win and now I just don’t know.

    Donna:

    I think one way or another Hillary will be the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2008. Sen. Obama may be boxed in by his strategy of running a positive campaign.

    You’ve seen this drama with the Clintons before. In the general election, Republicans will demand her tax records. Remember the Rose law firm records that she refused to give up? She will again refuse and the general election campaign will be all about that, plus whatever Bill Clinton has been up to since he left office. She may still prevail and become president. But do you want to live in the same country afterward? Republicans would want both Clintons hanged. Who knows, Ken Starr may even return to public life.

    Welcome to the nightmare before.

    Sorry for the dyspeptic worldview. I may be better tomorrow.

    Michael,
    That did not help. Now I feel worse. Ken Starr. I can not go through that again. Obama must win.
