I don't understand. What is she saying? She says Obama is dishonest, and unworthy, and then she is honor to be with him. She will say anything. I don't think she knows what she believes.

When Obama began closing the gap in November, she should have stayed the course with her focus on the Republicans, rather than veering off message to try to tear down Obama. One of the biggest mistakes she made in her campaign was hiring Mark Penn, her take-no-prisoners strategist. The man has his head so deep in poll numbers that he frequently misses the on-the-ground reality by a mile.

She doesn't seem to have learned anything from that. The American voters are sick of hearing negative comments against other candidates. And that is why we heard the audience boo her last night after her "xerox" comment.

That combined with the hybrid primary & caucus system (what Obama's campaign is calling the "Texas Two Step") may deliver a surprising result. I have been reading several stories/blogs/posts saying that the Clinton ground organization is very disorganized and the Obama organization is humming along. Texas is already reporting sizable early balloting and one report (from DailyKos) reported the the Obama campaign had locations near their massive rallies where folks could go and early ballot, sign up to volunteer, get tickets to other events. Reports of the Obama ground game are that it is unparalleled. Most if not all of that early voting may be for Obama.
