2. It means that conventional wisdom is that Hillary wins.
That's what.

3. people buy stock in a candidate for that candidate to win the nomination
it is like a stock market in who will win the nomination. The conclusion that I would draw from this is that people are thinking it is more likely that Edwards and Clinton will win compared to a month ago while less people think Obama will win compared to a month ago.

5. Higher bid, higher volume
Edwards still isn't anywhere near Obama. When his bid and volume move up, let me know.

8. Edwards is a cheap date?
That's the only trend you're seeing, may as well throw a little money on Edwards since he's so cheap right now.

And media driven people duped into Hillary - and centrists of course.

11. It is amusing to see a supporter of a media creation blame the media for Hillary's lead
Without the corporate media's project to build up Obama since the summer of 2004 he would not even be in the race.

9. And the national polls reflect the same trends
As did the new polls out of Iowa and Nevada that came out last week.

14. Don't worry. The media is coming to his rescue. They must maintain a "Clinton v. Obama" storyline
at all costs.
