I'm starting to feel bad for Hillary, as I watch the wheels coming off her campaign. Who would have thought, a year ago, that we would referring to her as the underdog?

It seems that she receives a new blow on a daily basis. Today, an important union endorsement, normally Hillary territory, went to Barack. The 1.9 million member Service Employees International Union
is throwing its weight behind the junior Senator from Illinois.

Some of the super delegates are changing their support from Hillary to Barack. While they are free to vote for whomever they chose, they're seeing the writing on the wall. Those super delegates who are also elected officials don't want to go against their constituency and vote for Hillary.

In Texas, popular progressive writer Jim Hightower has endorsed Barack. That's not good news for Hillary as we approach the Texas primary.

I can't imagine what must be going through her head these days. She has the Clinton name, the prominence, the connections, etc., and yet, her clock is apparently being cleaned by an upstart freshman Senator.

I was looking forward to a history-making ticket. I felt that Hillary would win the presidential nomination and Barack would accept the VP spot. If Barack wins the nomination, I don't see Hillary taking the second spot. It's a sad irony of history that the the first time we have a viable candidate that is not a white male, we have to choose between a female and an african american.

Oh well, as I said on an earlier post, the fat lady hasn't even warmed up yet. Who knows how this will end? Texas has an open primary and I wouldn't be surprised if Repuglicans, who are scared shitless of Obama, will turn out in droves and vote for Hillary just to help her win the nomination.
