The AP and the cable networks called it before midnight, but since the urban areas still weren't in and the AP had to un-call Missouri on Super Tuesday, I didn't want to go with it just yet. But it looks like Clinton has a comfortable four point lead on Obama now, with 85% of the precincts reporting.

She doesn't catch up to Obama in the delegate count, in fact, they pretty much evenly split the Texas delegates. But she does pick up a lot of momentum, as the press declares these big wins as a "revival" or a "comeback".

It's a testament to how successfully the Clinton campaign moved the goal post, because two weeks ago Clinton needed to win both Texas and Ohio by "significant" margins. Is four points "significant" enough? I'm sure there's wildly conflicting arguments on that one.

Once the delegate count settles tomorrow (or is it today), the spin begins.
