From what I read, as long as Obama holds his own today, the schedule from now on favors him.

And the Democrats should realize that many, perhaps most, of the new voters supporting Obama, are not generic Democratic voters--they are Obama voters. They will not come out to support Hillary in the fall if she were by some chance to be picked as the nominee.

Whereas, as I've said elsewhere, the Republicans, now snarling at each other, will come together in November at the perceived common danger: President Hillary Clinton.

On the other hand, Obama will unite the Democrats, get many independent votes, and even some Republicans--Susan Eisenhower is not alone--and get scads of new voters.

None of which Hillary can do.
