One thing that is unusual about the 2008 presidential race: no one seems to be able to build up any momentum, at least on the Democratic side. McCain did finally neutralize Mike Huckabee, shutting him out on March 4th, but that was only after it became clear that Huckabee could not catch up. By contrast, Obama's win in 11 straight contests didn't stop Hillary from winning three out of four on that same day. Nor did Hillary's big win stop Senator Obama from trouncing her in the Wyoming caucus, held today. Obama won 61% of the vote, to Hillary's 38%. The revolution may not be televised, but it is apparently federalized. Each state seems to be acting as if the others did not exist.
