Barack Obama needed to finish off Hillary Clinton with solid victories in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday, but he couldn’t.

Hillary Clinton, like Javier Bardem’s character in “No Country for Old Men,” is not that easy to stop.

Obama'll probably regret it for the rest of his days.

By winning in Texas and Ohio, important states in any possible Democratic victory in November, Hillary Clinton proved that reports of her political death were much exaggerated.

Why did she win?

Hillary won in Texas and Ohio because there are a lot of lunch bucket, working class people, white and Mexican-American, in those states who trust that the Clintons will make things better for them in practical ways... because they have done it before. In fact, if Obama's skin were of a different color, he probably wouldn't have gotten a single African-American vote running against a Clinton. The case is not really the candidates "experience", but the voters experiences of the candidates.

These are working people who are really worried about making ends meet in what looks like becoming very hard times, and as such they are not all that concerned about America having a "cool" image in the world, and neither do they wish very much to be "transformed" and "healed" as does the latte crowd.

This is a return of "It's the economy stupid!"

The Clintons have a proven record of delivering prosperity. That simple. This is certainly not rocket science.
