Right now, the nomination is all about the 2 "Big Mo's" -- momentum and money. As BooMan has pointed out, the upcoming primary schedule is favorable to Obama, meaning that he should pick up some momentum in the coming month.
And as tsackton has pointed out, Clinton is starting to self-finance, meaning that she is in some serious financial trouble. Money is going to make a big difference in the coming months, as it will determine whether a candidate can make significant ad buys in the primary and caucus states, and can pay for needed staff in all of these states. As shown in Iowa, when Obama has a chance to put his ads on television and to finance a major organizing effort, he does quite well.

There is no doubt that Obama will have a fundraising advantage in the coming months. What I am trying to discern, though, is how much this community will contribute to his campaign in the coming month. If he has another month like January (or even better than January), he is going to be in great shape for the 3/4 contests.
I'm going to be giving Obama $25 dollars this month. As a broke student I really can't afford to give even this much, but I think that a little more debt is well worth the possibility of a massive leftward political realignment in this country.
How bout you?
