Yup, I don't believe his "change" spiel either. I think it's unfortunate that more commentators are not asking what the foundation of his change message is.

Is there anything in his record that indicates his track record of changing things? How many in the divided Democratic party think he sells change largely because he is the first viable black candidate?

I think they better start asking and answering those questions soon if they want to stop the division and confusion. But knowing the Dems, they'll probably engage in the usual inter-party squabbling.

It's clear that Obama is in the lead. He has surged ahead of Clinton for the Intrade Prediction markets. He will win Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State, Maine on the weekend. Then I think he wins DC, Virginia, Maryland. After seven wins in a row, he can compete and likely win Ohio, maybe Texas and almost certainly Pennsylvania.

Oh yeah, Hillary is lending her campaign $5 million of her own money! Who would have thunk it?
