“The biggest shocker of Super Tuesday was not that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton won Massachusetts.

That loss by Sen. Barack Obama just proves celebrity endorsements are overrated. Despite having the support of Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Caroline Kennedy — not to mention Kennedy cousin Maria Shriver — Massachusetts voters still chose Clinton.

No, the upset was that Obama lost 2-1 among Latinos on the West Coast. Because California has a large Mexican-American population, as does Illinois, you would have expected Obama, a phenomenal field organizer, to have done a lot better than that.”*
