Winning ten in a row in anything is a pretty damn good run, but when it happens in a presidential race, the momentum it creates can be very hard to stop.

After winning as expected in Wisconsin and Hawaii on Tuesday, Barack Obama has even more reason to celebrate, even more reason to hope that more voters will decide to join his bandwagon in the days ahead.

And we have an even clearer Democratic race.  It's not that Obama is pulling away from Clinton by dramatic delegate totals or anything.  But the perception is that he is now winning and winning big in states all over the map.

Really, this race is now boiling down to the four primaries on March 4th in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vemont.  There are no contests between now and then, so we will have a 13-day focus on Ohio and Texas and Hillary's Stop Obama Effort.

After losing ten in a row, she has no place to hide.  The Election Buzzards Are Circling in a sense, and she is walking through the 2008 desert looking for a state to win.

The early Tuesday evening lead on the Associated Press wire is indicative of how much trouble Hillary Clinton's campaign is in right now:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Barack Obama has won the Wisconsin primary, his ninth straight triumph over a fading Hillary Rodham Clinton in their epic struggle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The word that hits you like a ton of bricks in that first paragraph is the word "fading." 

When one side wins a few primaries in a row, you are on a roll.  When you get to double digits, the perception is that it is turning into a rout, even though Clinton is still not that far behind when it comes to actual delegate numbers.

You will hear a lot about superdelegates over the next 13 days.  Don't pay too much attention to that.  Pay attention to where we are headed on March 4th.

If Hillary Clinton wins in Texas and Ohio, she's back in it and we can all talk about the fight for superdelegates for the next six weeks.

But if Barack Obama can even split those two states, then the road ahead gets much more difficult for Clinton and much brighter for Obama.

I'm chuckling as I write this, while watching the results on TV.  Obama has come out for his rally in Texas while Clinton is speaking in Ohio.  You can't watch both at the same time, so it forces the networks to cut away from Clinton in order to listen in on Obama. 

Chalk up another victory for the Obama camp tonight.
