After Senator Hillary Clinton’s big wins in Texas and Ohio, Barack Obama clearly owned Wyoming Saturday…caucus-goers there choosing the Illinois Democrat with a record turnout. Still, the delegate distribution could be termed a “near-tie”, Obama securing 7 more delegates, Clinton walking away with another 5.

Senator McCain remains focused on the Mississippi race Tuesday and then Pennsylvania April 22nd…but how does he keep up the momentum for both the GOP and his plans for a McCain Presidency?

That’s what we’ll examine today in America’s Election Headquarters at 10am eastern when I host two hours with Eric Shawn.

We’ll show you a new Senator McCain campaign ad…the Arizona Senator must not only bring more conservatives aboard, he must build his general election campaign infra-structure, raise campaign cash and select a vice-presidental nominee that will attract not only republicans but cross-over voters as well.

Who do you think is the VP choice most likely to secure John McCain a victory in November?

Post your choice here!

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…..

My co-anchor Eric Shawn taught me a new phrase. Obamicans. These are Republicans who do not see what they want in either the GOP frontrunner for the nomination- John McCain-or the evangelical christian favorite Mike Huckabee and are throwing their support for Barack Obama.

On our You Decide 2008 coverage this morning, I interviewed Susan Eisenhower granddaughter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower about her support for the Democratic candidate. She is, she insists, a Republican who has no intention of leaving the GOP party. So why is she “crossing over” the aisle to become an “Obamican”?

Eisenhower believes we are obligated to leave this country better than we found it. She told me Barack Obama is the only candidate that has and will reach - she believes -across the aisle and bring bi-partisan support to the issues that matter most.

I asked her about the importance of military experience in the White House, something her grandfather President Eisenhower surely tapped into with all the international affairs he had to tackle while in office! She says her grandfather would respect her choice and had similar priorities in choosing a candidate…dismissing Obama’s lack of direct military expertise.

And she insists her decision to support Barack Obama is NOT a move against Hillary Clinton but a move toward what she believes this country needs.

I’m not re-stating what she said on the show to take a position but I did want to raise the potential for other “Obamicans” and ask you:

How many Republicans to you think will cross parties in a general election and why? Which issue facing Americans would most lead the right to go left?
