I do find it interesting how expectations change interpretation. Two weeks ago, when discussing Ohio and Texas the tone was that Clinton was well ahead, could Obama catch up and make it close, etc., etc.
By the time the night rolls around everybody has convinced themselves he'll win them both and therefore not winning is a huge setback. Somehow this becomes a story of Obama having lost his appeal in Ohio when in reality the result in Ohio isn't all that different from the way its been polling for a while. And even being close in Texas would be a huge story if viewed from the story line of two weeks ago.
Oh well, I was mostly just hoping that after tonight I'd be able to ignore the presidential race until the conventions.
