For all the talk about how the Clinton machine would triumph in the end, because the couple and their advisors have all the experience and know how to game the system, right now it appears as though Obama has run a much more savvy campaign. What I'm talking about specifically is the fact that he has been sweeping up all of these delegates by winning by landslide margins in caucus states in which he has been organizing in for months, and Clinton largely ignored. It might very well be a case of overconfidence, with the Clinton campaign assuming it would deliver a knockout blow on Feb. 5 by dominated the massive states, and thus deemphasizing the smaller caucus states, especially those held after Super Tuesday. Clinton has serious problems now, because as her air of inevitability fades, so does her sway over superdelegates.
