I'm gonna have to disagree with obama being a run-away winner as of today's date.
DUmmies believe it to be true.
The media believe it to be true.
Obama hopes it true.
To use a football analogy, "That's why they play the game."
I know I don't sound very convincing but I live in a blue area and many obama suppoerters from 08 are not going to vote for him this year. Some of them have even denied voting for him in 08.
This is purely anecdotal - Today Massachusetts votes as part of the 'Super Tuesday' gang of states. At about 10 minutes of three this afternoon, I got to place the 86th ballot into the box. There are normally better than 500 at this time in this really blue city in the commonwealth.
It is true that there is nothing at the top of the Democratic ticket this year, however there are still several down-ticket races that should interest Democrats. It seems for the first time in a long time, Democrats just don't care. Good.
As for denials, I've encountered one so far - Person who 'enthusiastically' told me about their Obama vote recently mentioned in passing they didn't vote at all that year.
