With yet another victory this time in the state of Maine, Barack Obama is on a roll winning five contests since Saturday, and the pressure is showing on the Clinton camp.Hillary Clinton has replaced her campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with longtime aide Maggie Williams, engineering a shake-up in a presidential campaign struggling to overcome Obama's financial and political strengths.In fact, Mrs Clinton admitted that the race was taking its toll, both financially and emotionally.''You know, I was very overwhelmed last week when people found out that I had actually lent money to my campaign. But I feel that strongly about it, and I know how important it is that this contest continue,'' said Hillary Clinton, Democratic presidential hopeful.In fact, the contest is dead heat right now between Clinton and Obama.The Democratic candidate needs 2,025 delegates to clinch the nomination; Hillary Clinton has 1,148 and Barack Obama 1,121.The next contests are on Tuesday in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia where there are a substantial number of black voters.The Clinton camp though is hoping to cash in on the states that have a bigger block of delegates like Texas and Ohio that vote in early march.
