US Elections - Obama Eating Into Clinton Base

It's not as much that Obama is winning state-after-state from Clinton (22 of the last 30 states), but how he's starting to win them:

A few striking numbers - some of them stunning numbers - from the Virginia exit polls. Obama carried white men with 55%. He carried Latinos with 55%. He carried voters with incomes under $50,000 with 59%. He carried Catholics with 52%. He carried independents with 62% - and far more independents voted in the Democratic primary, for Obama, than in the GOP primary, for McCain. And he carried Republicans who chose to vote in the Democratic primary (they constituted 7% of the vote) with 70%.

Clinton is focusing on Texas and Ohio (two more states between now and then, Wisconsin and Hawaii). The way Texas selects delegates might not favour her, and Obama is already running TV and radio ads in Texas.

Announcer, in Spanish: Barack Obama is talking to me. He’s faced many of the same challenges that we’ve faced in my family. His parents weren’t rich, but through hard work, he earned a scholarship and found his way — graduating from Harvard Law School. And instead of accepting job offers that paid a lot of money, Obama decided to work with churches, giving a helping hand to those less fortunate in his community.

It's looking grim for Clinton. As such, it's time to start taking a hard look at what Obama is policy-wise, or how he's shifting policy-wise, for example, on Gaza.
