Hillary Clinton takes Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island (apparently for good measure)! Add that to the Supers and I would have to say that Clinton has the nomination in the bag.
This has probably already been brought up, but Clinton has to win 97% of the remaining delegates, Obama 77%. Obama has it in the bag.

Neither of them can get to the magic number prior to the convention.

Hillary is shooting for the big "mo" going into the convention. She is going to get the do-over's she wants in Mich and Fla. She's trying to put a freeze on super delegates casting support to Obama, and that the end of the day, her hit squad will make Courtney Cox of "Dirt" look like Carol Brady. The media are going to get non-stop memos from the Clinton camp on Obama's dealings, and shady land deal with Tony Rezko, then his relationship with Rev. Wright, William Ayers, comments on NAFTA, and the "America bad" ramblings(verbal, and written) of Michelle Obama. He seemed a bit flustered in San Antonio, being pressed for the first time about some of these issues, so the next couple of weeks will be great theatre to say the least.
I really wonder if Obama can win the general election? Personally, I think Hillary is the stronger candiate. If the polls are accurate, people are not feeling all that worried about Iraq right now. The economy is front and center and I think Obama will be hard pressed to convince anyone that he can fix the economy.
Rasmussen is probably the most realiable poll they use in that compilation. I saw Ford Jr. with huge numbers and Corker is sitting in the senate now. Other than South Carolina I just don't think Obama will carry any southern states and I think McCain will take a couple from the Ds in the west.
