Tougher Road for Obama Ahead

| | Comments (0)

If there's one thing we know before Texas and Ohio voters head to the polls tomorrow it's this: Sen. Barack Obama will face a tougher campaign trail in the months ahead than he has to date.

If Sen. Hillary Clinton wins the two big states tomorrow, the momentum shifts once again and the Democratic presidential race will continue for nearly two more months until Pennsylvania votes on April 22. It's not going to be pretty.

In Obama wins on Tuesday, he'll likely win the Democratic nomination, but he'll also face a new round of scrutiny from Republicans and the media. Yet another skit on Saturday Night Live over the weekend made the point that Obama has been pampered by political reporters. This resonates with voters and will probably be reversed in the coming weeks as reporters ask tougher questions of the Illinois senator.
