Grand Master Mike Tomasky says:
They'll both declare victory tonight, and both with some justification. Even so, it's slightly more Clinton's night, pending the final delegate count, because she stopped what seemed to be big Obama momentum.
I think it's probably more accurate to say that her effect on Obama's momentum has yet to be determined. What tonight certainly did prove, though, was that Obama had real momentum. He in fact did much, much better in today's contests than anybody expected he would even two weeks ago. If tonight was a finger in the wind, then the winds were in fact blowing his way. If Super Tuesday had been Super Thursday, he might have won a convincing national victory.
But Super Tuesday isn't Super Thursday. And though the media won't be as focused on his climb tomorrow as they were today, and though tonight's vote occurred--perhaps--before he'd reached his full potential, it's now up to his campaign to make sure that Obama's momentum doesn't stall.
