I think the media is orchestrating the whole business--as if it were a horserace.
There is so much media these days, they can't help trying to be out in front of the news half the time. They are in competition with each other. It's a business.
On top of that, you have all the old Clinton antagonisms--they have never been
very positive about the Clintons. Maybe it has something to do with Bill's extracurricular activities.
This thing will be a lot closer on the Dem side. Obama is an articulate guy, but he has baggage and the Clintons have some IOUs out there with the rank and file. They have a lot of support among the lower level pols in the big states who run the local organizations. That's why she's winning the big states.
