After capturing the big super tuesday states of New York, California, New Jersey, and Massachusets, Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been showered with bad news. Senator Obama has won all the primaries and caucuses since, in places as geographically and demographically diverse as Maine, Washington State, Louisiana, and Nebraska, indicating his broad appeal.  He has outdone Senator Clinton in fundraising efforts by a margin of 2 to 1, and has generally dinged up her aura if inevitability.  The latest tribulation comes in the form of a letter written by two New York State legislators rebuking Senator Clinton for allowing her campaign manager, Patty Solis Doyle, to step down in a campaign staff shake-up. The Clinton campaign has admitted that it is counting on victories in both Texas and Ohio on March 4th to keep it in the race.  If Ohio’s Rust Belt blue collar voters do what they’re expected to do, the state should fall into the Clinton column, but if latinos in Texas feel slighted by the change of campaign manager, it could cost HRC dearly. 

Above is a picture of her on the phone saying “hello? inevitability? why have you been such a stranger lately?”
