CNN is reporting that Hillary Clinton has replaced her campaign manager just a day after being swept in three primaries and has been projected to lose today's Maine primary as well. Clinton also announced that she loaned her campaign $5 million dollars in the month of January.

Interesting

I read the same thing Mr. Richards.  Is this a case of desperation or just wanting to make a change?  It's going to be Obama vs. McCain.  Should be entertaining.

Obama took Maine today also.

If they go into the convention tied, then Hillary takes it with her super delegates, right? Unless many of them change their minds.

The supers dels are allowed to do what they wish

If the Obama campaign continues to gather momentum, I think it would be costly for them to go against that current.

Edit: Now, according to CBS News:

Obama has pulled ahead of Clinton, even when the support of uncommitted super delegates is figured in. According to CBS News estimates, Obama holds a razor-thin lead with 1,134 delegates overall to 1,131 for Clinton.

Any idea if it's ever been this close before?

I guess there's still a ways to go.

This isn't an arms race, it's a delegate race

Maybe a brokered convention.  This is all pretty new to me but after reading an article about it last week I read a bit more.

A decent article about scoring delegates on SFGate.com.  Brokered Dem convention looking more likely, San Francisco Chronicle [HTML]
