Polls, primaries, and an attempt at political foresight.

Over at RealClearPolitics, Steven Stark asks Will Wright be Obama's Gennifer Flowers? He ultimately comes to the conclusion that the independents and undecideds will make the choice between Obama and McCain, on Election Day. It goes without saying that those two voting blocks will make or break this election for our party - but, even though Stark states the obvious in this instance, his other points are interesting.

On the other side of our blue spectrum, Time discusses The Five Mistakes Clinton Made. While I don't think we've seen the last from her campaign, I think that it's about time to seriously consider the consequences the party will face by a continuing contest (although, I suppose, one could argue that it really isn't a contest any longer.)

To be fair, however, take a peek over at Open Left. Yesterday, a piece entitled Moving Forward was posted, discussing whether or not the Indiana and North Carolina primaries really had any impact on the race. The question of whether or not Obama's victory was decisive factors heavily here.

In the land of Texas politics, State Rep. Rick Noriega's Campaign Blog discusses the new Rasmussen poll right here. This poll is exciting news, folks. To have our Senate race competitive? And this early? That's fantastic. Let's hope that the Noriega camp continues to point out all the things that Senator Cornyn isn't doing for our state.

In other Texas news, Burnt Orange Report once again discusses the crooked and corrupt politics of Speaker Tom Craddick. No holds barred when it comes to the hypocrisy from the Speaker of the Texas House. Here's to showing him the door at the next available opportunity, Texas Democrats.

Finally, take a look over at what our friends at The Texas Blue had to say about Tuesday's contests - and the ups and downs of trusting CNN's tracking numbers. The effects of the outcome remains to be seen, but rest assured that the tide remains in our favor.
