With another series of primaries out of the way, we turn to Larry Bensky, former Pacifica National Correspondent and Political Science Professor at California State University.

Bensky says "The steam has clearly gone out of [Clinton's] campaign. She's now going to have to rely on Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania."

"Its a sign that the Clinton campaign is in trouble. It looks like Obama may sweep February... but its actually good news for Democrats."

Obama signs in London Bensky says Ohio could be pertinent beyond having a crucial role in the Democratic primary, but the troubled voting system Ohioans experienced in the 2004 Presidential race that has yet to be resolved.

Finally, Bensky also notes that many Republican incumbents are not seeking re-election in unprecedented numbers, another good sign for Democrats.
