On Friday, the candidates had to report their receipts for last month. Obama has $30 million in primary cash in hand on February 29, 2008. Clinton's primary cash on hand was only $3 million. (She had over $20 million in general election cash that she can only spend if she is the party's nominee and must otherwise return). Here is the link.

Now, Hillary was broke before (after Super Tueday) and she managed to raise enough cash to compete in Ohio and Texas so why does it matter that Hillary is broke again. The narrative is very different now and that change could spell the end of her campaign sooner than the MSM will let you believe: May 7, 2008.

In Hillary's great victory in Ohio, she netted plus 9. Today in Iowa, Politico is reporting that the final number is Obama plus 10 for the county conventions. So, Obama wiped out the Ohio gain today.

Pro-Obama folks are frustrated that Hillary goes on despite the math. The MSM seems to buy the fact that things are up in the air and that Hillary can come back. On myDD, I recently saw a claim that Hillary was neck and neck with Obama in both the pledged delegate race.

Why does this disconnect exist? How can Hillary so confuse the MSM?

The answer is simple: the unsettled state of Michigan and Florida. But that cloud over delegate math is disappearing and Hillary will suffer as a result in the next 39 days before the PA vote.

Lots of Obama's supporters get frustrated with him when he does not punch back. They dream and write mock negative ads on daily kos. Pundits write that the test of this campaign now is weather Obama can throw a punch; not whether he can take one. I, too, have wondered if Obama can throw the roundhouse punch.

And then today, after watching the KO's Special Comment on Countdown, I realized the depth of Obama's genius and the brillance of his campaign. He is using non-violent tactics to expose the insanity and violence of Hillary's campaign. It worked once and I believe it will work again.

May 20th is the date of the Oregon and Kentucky primary. It is also the date that Obama is likley to be declared the winner of the pleadged delegates race (the first to 1627 delegates). After May 20, 2008, Hillary's only argument is using Superdelegates to overturn the popular will. Some Superdelegates will likely use Obama's pledged delegate win as an excuse to endorse.

I litigate cases for a living. And litigating cases can be a lot like political campaigns. There is always a fight to control the narrative. Especially at trial. I find the best way to control the narrative is to push your own narrative of the case, rather than respond to opponent's spin on a case.

Obama has let Clinton control the narrative on national security. Indeed, the problem with the response ad to the 3 am ad was that played right into Clinton's ad--brought her narrative.

And going negative on taz returns will not solve his national security program.

Obama has to state his case first in a clear contrast (negative?) ad like the one below.

Release this ad on the Friday morning before the eleciton in all major markets in PA.

Okay, I was down today. I was hoping that Obama would close it out yesterday and he did not. I woke up to the "spin" of the Hillary comeback. Then, tonight, I had a very interesting dinner conversation with a conservative lawyer that opened my eyes that I had to fight even harder for Obama.

Okay, I was hoping that Obama would knocked Hillary out tonight. He did not. Wednesday and Thursday will be Hillary news cycles. She will seem warm and confident. So what.

Just a few weeks ago, Obama was done more than 20 points in Ohio, 10 points in Texas and, a recent poll has him down 12 points in Rhode Island. Yet, I think Obama has a real chance at sweeping on March 4th
