Clinton's Campaign End

Tonight is the end of the Clinton campaign unless she can at a minimum split Ohio and Texas.

She has pulled all the stops out while campaigning this last week. There is the "who do you want answering the phone," ad and then the SNL jab at Barack Obama, "should we ask if Barack needs a pillow." And finally an appearance on SNL herself. It was the last one that was timed perfectly and directly at the Obama base-they youthful democrats. SNL's demographic leans to the younger left of center demographic. This may have helped Clinton stem the end of her campaign.

Another strange bedfellow for Clinton trying to prevent the end of her campaign was conservative talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, who asked his listeners in Texas and Ohio to hold their nose, walk into a voting booth and vote for Hillary Clinton. Words you never thought you'd hear from Rush Limbaugh trying to prevent the end of the Clinton campaign because, "'Every day that it [the Clinton campaign] lasts after Tuesday is a good day for John McCain,' says John Zogby, an independent pollster."

This last effort may work. The interesting thing about the polling numbers is you wonder how they did the sampling. Did they poll only Democrats? How responsive was the Latino vote to phone polls? The Latinos tend to be one of Clinton's biggest campaign supporters. But Latinos were probably not as responsive to telephone polls as other demographics.

When all is said and done, this maybe the most exciting day in American politics. The first legitimate female presidential candidate against the first legitimate African American presidential candidate in a fight to the finish. For one of them it could be the end of the campaign. Let's hope not though, as Rush Limbaugh said this is too good of a soap opera.
