“I’m a fighter.” – Hillary Clinton

Ben Smith has the audio of the Clinton call that Obama’s counsel infiltrated. I had to get off the call to prepare for an interview.

A bit of deflation in Obama’s speech tonight. He’s making the math case, but he’s got real trouble going forward. For one, his speech tonight moved away from broad rhetoric into policy. It’s trouble for him, because of focus and because policy is not his strong suit. Clinton will cream him on it.

Texas isn’t over and a lot of votes still to come where Obama will be strong.
