    here's an example of clueless pundit spin

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/us/politics/07dems.html

    Adam Nagorney of the NYT states "Obama Is Making Inroads, but Fervor Fell Short at End"

    Uhh, maybe he's in some kind of Clintonian fog, but last time I looked Obama had the makings of a movement, and Clinton is just more of bush/clinton/bush/...clinton

    Obama will prevail over Clinton and emerge stronger as a result.
