I think both Hillary and Obama did quite well last night and both made a credible case that they should be the next president. Hillary explained most of her positions quite well with the exception of the Iraq resolution where Wolf Blitzer was correct, though rude, to call her naive for trusting Bush. Obama at times seemed to lose focus, but generally was very much on his game. The agreement between the two last night was more common than the disputes as I think they realize that there is little to be gained by tearing the party apart. Overall, it was one of the best debates I have seen in a long time. I think that's a great potential ticket, but it works better as Clinton/Obama than the other way around. Obama should pick someone with a less dominating personality as his veep if he wins the nomination.
I have to make one adjustment on my Super Tuesday list as I move Connecticut from Clinton's safe category to the Toss-ups. CT polling has tightened up dramatically in this ever volatile season and I will update the full list later.
Republicans, well, McCain is a steamroller at this point. The arch-conservatives are lining up behind Romney to stop him, but it looks like a moderate coup is being pulled off when you look at Arnold's and Rudy's endorsements over the past couple days. We'll see what happens on Super Tuesday, but I'll give McCain New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Arizona, and California for sure. I think he splits the southern states with Huckabee. Romney gets Utah, Colorado, and Massachusetts.
