That's how Barack Obama must be feeling after winning his ninth and tenth state in a row. Looks like Texas and Ohio are now Hillary Clinton's last, best hope. I think she has a decent shot but what might ruin her here in Texas is if Mike Huckabee drops out of the Republican race. All the independents who are planning on voting for John McCain may just cross over (we have open primaries). And independents have been going Obama over Clinton in large numbers.

Two weeks ago I'd say the odds of Obama winning Texas was 3 to 1. Now, I'd put the line at even. It'll be a fight and I expect Clinton to keep the nastiness level high.
