FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Barack Obama has some serious momentum.

He swept Hillary Clinton in this weekend’s contests in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State, Maine and the Virgin Islands. His winning margins ranged from large to crushing. Obama has now won about two-thirds of the state contests decided so far. In fact, he has now taken the lead over Clinton in pledged delegates, 986 to 924, and trails Hillary by only 27 when you include the superdelegates.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign had its biggest shakeup yet over the weekend, as she replaced Patti Solis Doyle, her campaign manager and longtime aide. The switch came during a rough patch for Clinton – after the split decision on Super Tuesday last week, the weekend losses to Obama and a setback over money. After Hillary acknowledged loaning her own campaign $5 million last month, her campaign has since been pointing to a $10 million month and many new donors. But Clinton’s campaign has never been able to build the online donor base that Doyle had promised.

Looking ahead to tomorrow’s Potomac primaries, polls suggest Obama has a commanding lead. Clinton’s strategists have said they’re pessimistic about her chances in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Clinton is looking toward March 4th and what she hopes is a firewall in the delegate rich states of Ohio and Texas. But if Obama continues to build on the momentum he has now by raking up additional victories, it may be too late.

Here’s my question to you: Is Hillary Clinton’s campaign in trouble?
