Back on topic for a moment:

The Obama campaign is showing no signs of coasting on this lead:

Given the state of the race, might think that the atmosphere would be giddy in Obama headquarters on Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago.

Not exactly.


When I walked in for my first visit in months the atmosphere was the same as it was then: quiet, purposeful, and no-nonsense.
On what looked like a vast open trading floor, the twenty- and thirty-somethings went about their business, none of them in coats and ties, many of them looking like graduate students, would-be lawyers, and MBAs crashing a collaborative research project.


On an easel outside the entrance, the first person to work that morning — a retired school administrator named Mary Shepard Hughes — had written an inspiration and an a warning: “TWO SHORT WEEKS. TWO LITTLE WORDS: NEW HAMPSHIRE.”


In a campaign that has, from the start, functioned with incredible smoothness overall, the unexpected primary loss of New Hampshire to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton still rankles — and serves as a cautionary tale.

Also interesting in that article was what Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, had to say about sharing the huge amount of campaign donations they've received with other Dems running for other offices. The response was that they weren't going to hand them money, instead they're using the money to put people on the streets to get democrats to register and vote. And you know, if I were a Dem running for office, I'd be cool with that. I mean, lord knows they've proven that they know how to get sh*t done with that money thus far, why stop them now?
