(Brookfield, Wisconsin)
I am still in the snow belt, taking a few extra days to enjoy my family after the Wisconsin primary. With the candidates gone, I have some time to reflect and assess what my be coming on the Democratic side.
The candidates have 12 days to campaign in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island, where 375 delegates are at stake. 
Right now, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has 89 more delegates than Hillary Clinton, but neither will have the nomination sewn up by March 4, because there are just not enough delegates available.

Here are the latest polls. Keep in mind they were taken before the Wisconsin vote, and may not reflect the shift in momentum to Obama, if there has been one. The polls, at least for now, show good news for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). All are from Real Clear Politics.com:
OHIO:
Clinton 53%
Obama 38%
Undecided: 9%
TEXAS:
Clinton 50%
Obama 43%
Undecided: 17%
RHODE ISLAND:
Clinton 36%
Obama 28%
Undecided: 36%
VERMONT:
No polls available.
So it's a bit of good news and bad news for the Clinton campaign. The good news: She's ahead. The bad news: Obama has been attracting the lion's share of undecided and independent votes. So, slog ahead! It will be a tough fight for those March 4 delegates!
I will be writing political updates everyday from Wisconsin and California. Then I will be off to Texas for the March 4 primary!
