Obama sells out Minnesota Target Center

The odds do continue to surprise given the news reports last night.

Sen. Obama sold out the Target Center on Saturday, and there is a waiting list (in the thousands) for the event.

I really doubt Sen. Clinton or President Clinton could pull off such a feat right now. It will be very interesting to see Super Tuesday and how electorally rich places like California and the North East play out because polls still show Clinton very strong.

I think Clinton remains the favorite and will still win the Nomination as I predicted earlier. When you look at it on paper that is how it looks, though my gut is starting to feel otherwise given the large crowds for Obama.
