And with Maine, Obama makes it a clean sweep of the weekend. None of the four states was closer than 19 points and two were northern states.
With the caveat as always that the delegates still have a lot of guesswork in them, even including super delegates CNN now has Obama within 30 of Clinton at 1,148 to 1,121 (and Obama ahead 986 to 924 in pledged delegates).
At this point, so long as Obama can keep Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania from being blowouts in favor of Clinton, I think things are good for him to go into the convention with a pledged delegate lead. Since Bill Clinton is a superdelegate they better get to work on switching his vote.
