    @Brian - Seattle

    Could you please explain your reference. I haven't seen any Clinton supporters suggesting that the rest of the caucus should be ignored. I have yet to hear anybody imply that Clinton should be "crowned" right now. I think we'd all be happier if the primaries were over and our chosen candidate could start planning their Presidential campaign, but there is no sense of inevitability from the Clinton people and there never has been. Any inevitability came from the media who decided early in the game that the Democratic nomination was a contest between Clinton and Obama and the Republican contest was between Romney and Giuliani. Everybody also pretty much felt like Feb 5 would decide the election. It didn't, and the only winners I've seen so far are the Republicans, who have a candidate and an edge as Democrats divide into factions.
