Barack en fuego. Ay dios mio.

According to CNN exit polls, Barack won Hispanics 52-47% in Maryland. Keep in mind, Hispanics make up only 4% of the Maryland population, but still: he's making progress. His progress helps him in Texas, where Hispanics make up about 35% of the population. If he wins in Texas, this could be close to over. He might not even have to win. If he cracks 40-45%, putting a dent in the delegate count in the state, he could do some real damage. After tonight (especially after looking at the exit polls) we need to really brace ourselves for the possibility that Obama can really pull this thing off and beat Hillary.

That is huge because Hillary had been "rounding up" the Hispanic vote prior to the Potomac primaries.
