For the first time, polls are showing Sen. Obama ahead in Texas, 50% to 46%. Ohio is also trending in Obama's favor, although Clinton still is ahead by nearly double digits in some polls. National polls show Obama leading Clinton by double digits among Democrats. Significantly, Obama was endorsed today by the 5 leading newspapers in Texas: the Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, and San Antonio Express-News. The endorsements are glowing (and growing).
Pundits and the campaigns agree that Clinton would have to win big in both Texas and Ohio on March 4 to even have a chance of catching Obama. To quote Dana Carvey quoting George H.W. "Poppy" Bush, "Not gonna happen!"
UPDATE: The latest to endorse Obama: Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT). Bravo!
