Clinton's once commanding lead in the Democratic nomination battle has eroded, and the race is clearly a dead heat nationally. He's also close (or slighly ahead) in California, Alabama, and Missouri.

Clearly, Obama has all the momentum now. The question is whether Clinton built up enough of a cushion in most states to just eke out a victory. But given all the proportional delegate states on the Democratic site, and given that everything is trending in his direction, Obama has a great chance to hold his own on Tuesday, and pull this thing off. I would be more confident in his chances if it weren't for what I witnessed up close in New Hampshire, where I saw how the power of the Clinton machine could somehow manufacture a victory. Then again, the Patriots always found a way to win until last night.
