Obama aide: Clinton will ‘fail' Tuesday
(The Politico) - Obama campaign manager David Plouffe predicted flatly Friday that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) will “fail” to make meaningful progress toward the presidential nomination in the big Ohio and Texas primaries on Tuesday.
“They have a huge task in front of them, which is to try to erase this pledged delegate lead,” Plouffe said on a conference call with reporters. “They are going to fail by that measure. … This isn’t whether they can skate by and win the popular vote narrowly.”
Plouffe’s tough talk also showed the Obama campaign is going to hit back hard at Clinton for her new ad designed to tap into voters’ fears about national security.

How is this news? What would we expect the Obama campaign to say? "Hillary is going to kick our butts?" "We're planning on losing?"
Wasted bandwidth.
From the Patriot Post:
“[Barack Obama’s] got probably the greatest support in the national press I’ve seen since John McCain [in 2000]. And that’s one of the things he’s had going for him. But as I said, there are going to be more and more questions... [D]oes he have enough experience? This is something Democratic Party polls were still showing ten days ago: The majority of Dems say he needs several more years of experience. That’s why I was saying Hillary has done such a poor job of [raising the inexperience issue] because she’s made it an attack issue rather than an issue for people to consider.”
