Ok, I was wrong

It ain't over yet. I'm as surprised as anyone. I fell for the common wisdom of another Obama sweep. The common wisdom I have warned others not to fall for. So sue me. (not you McCain, I don't work for the NY Times)

I think I was correct about the backlash. I was wrong about what form it would take. I believe enough Hillary supporters finally had enough of the "Hillary's done and she should drop-out" mantra.

Evidently I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Many of the latest polls show Hillary, once again, beating McCain. She's at a statistical tie in others. These same polls show the opposite for Obama. He's now losing to McCain in many polls. He's at a statistical tie in others.

Maybe the latest results will help tone down the rhetoric from both Democratic camps.

I still maintain the majority of criticisms have come from the Obama camp. I think there's been considerable help from stories planted in the media. These stories are designed to have each camp pointing fingers.

Hillary has played it smarter recently. Her camp didn't fall for the media stories but challenged Obama on what he said or the ads he's run. Obama has primarily criticized Hillary on the basis of media stories.

I think Democrats have wised up to the fact that most of the controversy has been ginned up by the media. I think they're looking for substance, not slime, from either candidate.
