Hillary Clinton is once again the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination after winning the California primary on Super Tuesday. Clinton also took New York, Massachusetts, and a handful of other states, with Barack Obama winning a greater number of smaller states with fewer outstanding delegates.

Super Tuesday did not bode well for the Democratic party. By stunning Obama in Massachusetts, thanks to a huge turnout from female voters, Clinton has shown that she can still win by dividing gender lines, a strategy that will not likely work in the general election. Clinton does not poll as well against John McCain, her likely opponent, as Obama does.

After today's primaries it's clear that the Democrats are once again trying to lose what should have been a softball presidential race.
