Obama is doing shitty.
Edwards is the one state wonder right now though.
HC is doing something right. i just dont get it.

It is still a bit early, maybe he's waiting until Hillary blows her load, then he'll kick in with some "freshness". (Maybe wishful thinking)

[George]

Actually it seems that Obama just raised $25 million from 100,000 different people (including me).

Time to spend it.

Candidates don't want to peak too early. In my personal opinion, Hillary might have peaked...and now voters are taking a second look at Edwards and Obama. Between now and the end of the summer, Edwards and Obama will be fighting a proxy war to become the official "anti-Hillary." Once this thing about Elizabeth becomes old news, and especially from Labor Day on, Obama's campaign will kick into high gear.
