Obama campaign as “disruptive innovation”

The Left Coaster comments on a recent MSNBC survey showing 53% said Clinton’s attacks were unfair while only 33% thought that of Obama.

Hillary’s campaign strategists have proved consistently inept, so it’s impossible to guess what they will try in what could be the final two weeks of her candidacy, but it’s clear that [...]

Juggernaut?

Exit polls in Wisconsin showed Obama leading among white voters and splitting women’s vote with Clinton, which is quite astounding when you think about it.

And McCain, upon winning in Wisconsin, immediately attacked Obama…

Kos has a question

My memory is hazy. Was the Dean campaign as pathetic during its “implosion” stage as the Clinton campaign has behaved the last week or two?

I’m trying to figure out if this is normal behavior for a desperate campaign or if the Clintons are reaching new heights of idiocy.

Update: To add, how long before [...]

The perils of sprinting in a marathon

It’s pretty clear now that the Hillary campaign wasn’t prepared with a Plan B if its strategy for a Super Tuesday knockout punch didn’t work. Now comes a report that the campaign only recently learned that her “firewall” state of Texas allocates delegates in such a way that even a big popular vote win might [...]

Obama pulls ahead on Pollster’s poll of polls for the first time.

The sniping between the Obama and Clinton is definitely getting a bit pitched. But then, the hard right and libertarians seriously dislike McCain. So there’s plenty of internal squabbling in both parties now. Will both parties unite behind whoever their candidate ends up [...]

Breaking: Brokaw declares Obama buzz “almost nuclear.”

So says TPM. Indeed, Obama, not Clinton, is now the front runner.

What an unusual campaign so far. Both presumed frontrunners, Guliani and Clinton, lost their lead. Guliani had the spectacular crash-and-burn while Clinton is now wobbling badly.

Obama, Clinton delegate counts

TPM is reporting the delegate counts appear to be split even while Andrew Sullivan just blogged Obama might be ahead.

It’s the delegate counts, not the votes, that really matter.

California polls. Way divergent.

Zogby has Obama by 13% in California, while SurveyUSA has Clinton by 10%. TPM opines that the Zogby poll appears more in line with other polls than does SurveyUSA.

Yesterday here in CT, Obama filled XL Center in Hartford to capacity, speaking to 17,000 people. (The fire marshals turned more people away.)

So what happened to Obama’s 10 pt poll lead in NH?

Just when some thought it all over, in reality, the race had just begun.
