By: Susan GoldenbergGUARDIAN UK - Barack Obama's campaign, riding a wave of 10 straight victories in the contest for the Democratic nomination after wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii, today urged Hillary Clinton to bow to the inevitable and accept defeat.Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, dismissed her camp's hopes of making a comeback when the power states of Texas and Ohio hold their primaries on March 4, and said Clinton would be unable to bridge a widening gap in delegates."This is a wide, wide lead right now," Plouffe said in a conference call with reporters. "The Clinton campaign keeps saying the race is essentially tied. That's just lunacy."The argument from the Obama camp appears designed to paint Clinton as a nuisance candidate -- much like Mike Huckabee who has continued to fight for the Republican nomination even though it is mathematically impossible for him to catch up to John McCain's lead in delegates.It comes at a time when Obama and McCain increasingly are taking swipes at one another on the stump -- heightening anticipation that the two men will face off in next November's presidential election, and relegating Clinton to a sideshow.Clinton's hopes of upsetting that equation now turn on delivering a convincing performance in tomorrow night's Democratic debate in Austin, Texas and on gaining traction for her argument that she is the best candidate in a time of deepening economic woes, campaign officials admitted in their own conference call with reporters.Clinton unrolled the first sign of what her campaign called a harder edged approach to the economy in a speech in New York and in television advertisements which appeal to night shift workers."It is time to get real, to get real about how we actually win this election and get real about the challenges facing America," she said in her speech. "I am not running for president to put Band-Aids on our problems. I am running to solve them."
