    Um...

    Maybe I'm not reading the same media as these people, but who was predicting an Obama sweep and Hillary's imminent demise? Everything I read indicated that Super Tuesday would be very close and unpredictable, that the nomination would still be in doubt on Wednesday, and that Hillary was looking strong in the biggest states -- all of which turned out to be true. I think this is just another example of the tiresome strategy of talking doom before the polls open so as to claim to have exceeded expectations and confounded the naysayers afterward. Obama does the same thing.
