Obama as Fruntrunner
Obama’s fundraising totals following Super Tuesday – a mere 6.5 Million since the polls closed! – do demand a reconsideration of this underdog nonsense. Simply put, it’s time Obama claim the mantel of frontrunner. He’s dominating the media at this point, finding great help in Clinton’s admission of financial stress, and it may prove to his advantage to suggest that his candidacy is being given a grassroots mandate. The primary/caucus events on the horizon play to his strengths, and presenting a cautious—hopefully humble—position of leadership might just shift the narrative from “surprising insurgent” to the “David who slew Goliath.”
