10 Races In A Row: Is Obama Unstoppable?

Barack Obama made an unprecedented 45 minute speech last night (to me it seemed like a convention nomination acceptance speech) repeating his platform and promises for big change. A filled beyond capacity crowd in Houston applauding and hanging on every word while Hillary Clinton spoke to supporters in Ohio with much less airtime.

Upcoming races in Ohio and Texas are critical for Hillary whether or not she can turn the all-important superdelegates her way (they make up 20% of the democratic delegate count). While Obama is ahead in delegates neither candidate is guaranteed the 2025 delegates needed to secure the nomination.

So what do you think Senator Clinton should do:

a) hang in there and keep campaigning because it ain’t over till it’s over

b) bow out and get back to being a senator

c) work out a deal for the #2 spot and join forces with Obama

Feel free to suggest something else…..

Super Tuesday - When Will We Know? Your Predictions?

While some polling stations will close as early as 12:30 pm today (West Virginia’s Republican-only caucus), California voters can select their candidate until 11pm pacific time. That means this race will be one of the most exciting (history making in terms of the number of primaries today) and perhaps toughest to call. California has the most delegates to offer and winning there could - very late in the day - turn an already very close race.

There are a number of articles today - the Wall Street Journal among them - that explains how differently the Democrats and Republicans allocate delegates in different states and then there are those states on the Republican side that offer “winner take all” races. Candidates today are voting in their homestates and making whatever last ditch efforts they can to visit other states the polls suggest they should.

I’ll be following it all (confession: politics junkie) and co-hosting with Bret Baier two hours of our “You Decide 2008″ coverage on Fox News Channel from 3-5 am eastern (just after those all important California polls close)…

…so tell me this…

1. till what time will you be tracking the results of the 24 primaries being held today and

2. what are your predictions for the Republicans and Democrats tonight?
