Hillary lost MD, VA and DC yesterday. For the second night in a row, she refused to do Obama the courtesy of conceding or congratulating him.
She's now off to Texas.
"There's a great saying in Texas, all hat and no cattle," she told a
boisterous crowd of about 12,000 at a college basketball arena in El Paso Tuesday evening as the shape of the latest Obama ballot victories were unfolding. "Well, after seven years of George Bush, we need a lot less hat and lot more cattle."
Let's see . . . Hillary carpet-bagged her way into NY politics, got re-elected by promising to serve out her full senate term rather than running for president, and now finds herself in a position in which serving out her term might be what she ends up having to do.
I can imagine her saying "Yo amo Texas, y'all!" After all, she slipped into that phony Alabama accent in Selma.
The YouTube video of that speech was amazingly hilarious.
She knows her
presidential aspirations rest on Ohio.
"With losses from Maine to Louisiana to Washington state and more
stunning defeats last night, Clinton is now pinning all her hopes on
megastates like Ohio and Texas, where her popularity seems to be
holding - for now."
For now. Maybe not long enough to win those states on March 4. She's not even trying in Rhode Island or Vermont.
