Well, Obama and Hillary are almost neck and neck after the results of Super Tuesday, with some surprising results such as the shift in Missouri in Obama's favor. Furthermore, as the Tavis Smiley Show reported last night, some estimates suggest Obama won more delegates than Hillary. I think the results say some very good things about Obama's future.
The fact that he was able to do so well in red states such as Missouri and Colorado illustrates that Obama's lack of baggage compared with someone like Hillary Clinton is a definite advantage. He will not bring out the Republicans in as great numbers as Hillary would.
Furthermore, for the near future, the race will be to a certain extent dominated by Obama. With states where he is likely to win such as Louisiana coming up, he will have an even greater chance to build up momentum.

An Open Letter to the Democratic Primary Voters of New Hampshire
To the New Hampshire Democrats Who Gave Hillary Clinton First Place Standing:
What the hell is wrong with you?
How could you all be taken in by a so obviously manipulative politician who is incapable of taking a firm position on any issue? Are a few tears all that's needed to win your votes?
Some of you will no doubt point to her "experience" in government. WHAT EXPERIENCE? Her only official position has been one term in the Senate, only a few years more than Obama. Just being married to someone in high office doesn't count. The only governmental position she held during her husband's presidency was being put in charge of health care, and we all saw how that worked out.
She is also belatedly trying to position herself as an agent for change. The only change coming from her vaunted 34 years of experience has been a change in her husband's mistresses.
If you are nostalgic for the Clinton years, and harbor secret hopes that her husband will really be running the country, go ahead and support her, but don't try to pass it off as a vote for experience. If you had really wanted experience, you would have voted for Joe Biden or Chris Dodd.
