Another Blowout
The Red Queen will need a whole new deck after this debacle. Just a few days ago, Maine was being predicted as a Hillary Clinton win. Instead, it is another blowout for Obama. MSNBC calls Maine for Obama.
AUGUSTA, Maine – Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic Party's Maine caucuses on Sunday, grabbing a majority of delegates as the state's Democrats overlooked the snowy weather and turned out in heavy numbers for municipal gatherings.
With 70 percent of the participating precincts reporting, Obama had 57 percent of the vote, while Clinton had 42 percent.
It is not quite the two to one defeats she was handed yesterday, but it is another blow to an already staggering campaign. I think she's going to need a new flamingo – the game just changed.

The pundits had HRC winning Maine as late as yesterday. They also said she would win the big states in March, but now I am wondering if she can. Can Obama run the table from here on out?

Maybe Hillary will bust out crying; and then write a book entitled “Tears for Our Nation”.
