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.

Hillary Clinton discovered something about the American public last month when it appeared she would lose the New Hampshire primary: they respond to tears. Her miracle emergency comeback in that state left the media with egg on its face for having all but called the primary for Obama the day before. She did it by giving a tearful speech the night before.

Clinton is back at it again. With the Obama campaign train railroading the divisive senator, Clinton has once again resorted to crying on the day before Super Tuesday, when numerous primaries around the country will likely decide on who will be the Democratic nominee. Obama has surged in the past week, opening up a lead in the crucial state of California and extending his lead in several other states.

Will voters respond to Hillary's cry for pity? I doubt it this time. Cry me once, shame on me. Cry me twice, you don't cry again (how the hell does that saying go again, Mr. President?).
