is his organization in caucus states. I've been completely gobsmacked by the news analysts who state "the caucus format seems to favor Obama" without any analysis.
It favors Obama both because of the enthusiasm and commitment of his supporters and because he allocated both staff and volunteer resources to these states, many of which are not used to having candidates pay attention.
The Clintons have followed their normal pattern of cherry-picking the contests they think will be easy to win, or where they can get large numbers of delegates and virtually ignored the caucus states, assuming Hillary would get close to half the delegates because of the allocation system. However, Obama's superior organization and the passion and commitment of his supporters has blown Clinton out of the water and he is getting super majorities. Just another sign that Obama is moving us beyond the politics of the past.
I expect in the fall he, like Howard Dean, will have a 50 state strategy, not conceding any states to McCain.
