13. It's great to support your candidate but ...
... if I was an Obama supporter, I'd have white knuckles over this.

The primary elections are NOT done deals. The fact that almost all of Obama's lead was picked up in two "bursts" indicates that there is still a lot of voter volatility.

There is no denying that Obama has momentum -- a hundred or more endorsements from the MSM and Democratic mugwumps, and the temporary suppression of anti-press cynicism have helped a lot. But that could disappear -- and return -- three or four times before the convention.

The same obviously applies to Team Clinton. But today, it's the Obama camp that is overconfident. And when you're being gamed by the media, it's not wise to take an early victory lap on their track.

Nobody gets to rest, especially with so much ad money at stake.
