will you be her valentine?

Hillary Rodham Clinton is trying to right her upside-down campaign and speaking in El Paso last evening after the Virginia results had been announced and before the Maryland and D.C. races had been called (as soon as the polls closed) for Obama she did not sound very convincing. She seemed tired, out of sorts, and lost in her own rhetoric.

Meanwhile the O-man was saying in Washington, doing the people's business and acting presidential. Except to see more of this from Obama in the coming weeks and fewer rock star appearances. He knows that if he wants to take on McGruff the Crime Dog it won't be easy and he must appear Charlie, Ready and Able. And HRC isn't done yet, despite the loss this week of her two top campaign advisors and a mounting string of stinging losses in primaries and causcuses. It's 7 in a row for Obamba if you're counting. The Clintons are pros at politics and AMBITION is more than a personality trait with them, it's a way of life.

Update: In the ever-spin world of politics, Obamites are calling it 8-in-a-row, which I believe includes the straw poll taken at a back bar in St. Barts which Barack won by a margin of 7 to 3. The losers were forced to buy the next round. Cost? 2 million dollars.
