Obama takes another step towards the nomination

Hillary Clinton missed her last best chance to change the direction of the race last night. In the final Democratic debate before the crucial March 4th contests in Texas and Ohio, Hillary failed to force Obama into making a mistake and allowed him to leave the debate with his momentum intact. Indeed, she probably had the worst moment of the debate when her joke about press bias fell embarrassingly flat.

The polls suggest that Obama is now edging ahead of Clinton in Texas and gaining fast in Ohio. If she can not hold on in these supposed firewall states for her, the pressure on her to drop out will be immense. There is talk that some of her staff will quit if she doesn’t get out the race. One feels that we are entering when not if territory when it comes to Obama winning the nomination.

Thank you for your blogs on the primary races in the US...Not one of the papers I read, including the WSJ, weighed in on the success/failure of the debaters on 2/26...Only you gave us a clue...

"Obama's winning", not "Obama winning". One expects The Spectator to respect the gerund.
