When Obama wins in November it will be at least in part due to Clinton
If Clinton had dropped out after Super Tuesday, Obama would not have had to campaign so vigorously in places that the Dems traditionally ignore. Even for the states that he lost, even for the states that voted in Super Tuesday, Obama and Clinton's national presence, constant media attention, and constant campaigning, debating, etc, raised Obama's image, presence, technique and generally his game.

The Democratic primary, as exasperating, frustrating and even frightening as it was, was a good thing.

That's not to say take our foot off the gas, but we have learned valuable things over the last many months and will win when we apply those lessons between now and November.

I feel good.

1. I have to agree.
Every negative has already been played out. I'd hate for that pastor crap to have come out in October. Not saying that Clinton was behind it -- the sermons were online for anyone to see -- but I don't think it would have come out if there hadn't been a primary on, which made it relevant at the time.
