Is Hillary toast?

I'm starting to think so. The "inevitable" Democratic Presidential nominee in so many eyes (admittedly, including mine) is now trailing Barack Obama in candidates for this summer's convention, after getting clocked in the Beltway primaries of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html. Hillary's only hope at this point is for a massive Hispanic turnout in Texas and Ohio, enabling her to carry the states by a huge a margin, and then for the superdelegates to go massively in her favour. I don't see either of those two things occurring at this point.

I know, I know, never write off a Clinton, but her campaign is starting to take on the apperance of Rudy Giuliani's (another presumptive "front-runner") right before he got crushed in Florida. Watch out, Republicans. Barack Obama is going to be awfully tough to beat in November.

Barack appears to have won handily in Wisconsin, leaving Hillary looking increasingly weak.
