So sad. At last mittmentum looks like joementum.

We'll all miss Mittens!

Since the election last night, Obama's campaign has been raising a great deal of cash from small donors.

Hilary, on the other hand, just loaned herself $5 million.

How much cash has Obama raised? Well, this graphic says it all:

Over 5 million? I'd be interested to see the total number of contributors...but in any case, with over $30 million in contributions in January, he's in excellent shape.

There were no knockout punches but overall, I think last night helps Obama, especially with his victory in Missouri. Each week his candidacy lives is another week Clinton's argument weakens.

In many of the states Clinton won, Obama had surged from far behind to narrow the gap in the days before Super Tuesday. Her ability to hold off his charge brought a sense of relief to her campaign advisers, but the likelihood that neither would emerge with a significant advantage in delegates was a sign that their roller-coaster competition would continue.

The DC/VA/MD primary is coming up next Tuesday...we'll see how the battle holds up.

Here are the latest polls across the board.

Clinton appears to be leading primaries in most states, with 2-4 exceptions. On the caucus side, Obama is rumored to be doing better.

California seems to be trending heavily Hilary, at least according to SurveyUSA.

Overall, a fairly mixed bag, with Obama still an underdog. We'll see how it plays out.

A well-dressed man informed me at Cosi, while waiting for his salad to be made, that "the list of indictments coming down today is HUGE!" My ears perked up and I responded "Oh!"

He said "Yeah, Orrin Hatch was listed."

I replied, "Well, Orrin Hatch is crazy."

His response? "Of course he is. So is Danny Glover!"

"Really? Danny Glover?"

"Yes, of course! Danny Glover is at the center of the whole thing. He's really behind it all..."

I mumbled some platitudes, paid for my meal and left. Bizarre.

werkz review: not worth it.

Tilda and I hit Cork last night, a new trendy wine-bar near 14th and S St. The interior design was unique, with faux-vacuum tube lighting and a mix of DC history and modern sensibility. The hostess was taking a break when we walked in, which was confusing as guests were piling up without a clear exit, but eventually we were seated.

The trouble? The wine. Why go to a wine bar for wine that tastes, well, ordinary? The food, sadly, also didn't measure up to Vinoteca's fare, which was disappointing, considering the latter was far cheaper and has much worse decor.

In the end, if you're on 14th and you want some wine in a cool, interesting designed space, save your money and your pride and hit St. Ex, which has calmed down recently to allow more breathing room upstairs.
