    Obviously

    Krugman doesn't spend much time on the blogs reading the comments of Clinton supporters...

    Or Ron Paul supporters...

    Or Fred Thompson supporters...

    Or...

    People are passionate about their candidate. Some will "come in line" behind the eventual candidate, some won't. To say that Obama's people are in any way unique in establishing a "cult of personality" is silly and naieve.
