...relied most heavily on the party's traditional big donors and is finding fewer and fewer who have not already given the maximum legal limit of $2,300 for the primary race. "They've got to produce something out of these next nine states [that vote between Super Tuesday and March 4], or they are going to have some serious money troubles," says Obama adviser Steve Hildebrand...
...ones we've been waiting for," Barack Obama said in yet another memorable election-night speech on Super-Confusing Tuesday. "We are the change that we seek." Waiting to hear what Obama has to say - win, lose or tie - has become the most anticipated event of any given primary night. The man's use of pronouns (never I), of inspirational language and of poetic meter - "WE are the CHANGE that we SEEK" - is unprecedented in recent memory. Yes, Ronald Reagan could give great set-piece speeches on grand occasions, and so could John F. Kennedy, but Obama's ability...
...there was something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism - "We are the ones we've been waiting for" - of the Super Tuesday speech and the recent turn of the Obama campaign.

And more good news: both Obama and Clinton are very good candidates who hold similar positions on most issues, moderates who intend to reach out to Republicans after they are elected - although, given Clinton's undeserved reputation as a partisan operative, that may be a tougher sell for her than...
...guns and abortion. They liked all Mitt Romney's positions, until they learned that he used to have totally different positions. They got excited about Fred Thompson's candidacy, until they realized that he wasn't. And then Mike Huckabee had his moment in Iowa. But now Super Tuesday has confirmed McCain as the front runner again - didn't the pundits tell you Republicans always pick early front runners? - even though conservative icons like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and James Dobson are still trashing him as a closet liberal...
