The New York Times published the results of first quarter fundraising by presidential candidates...Obama is winning.
A few weeks ago when Obama's numbers were not in Clinton had a huge lead over all Democratic hopefuls, now we have a new leader. Sen. Obama has raised $24.8 million for the primary with $19.2 million in the bank. Sen. Clinton has around $24 million for the primary.
The biggest component to this story is that former supporters of Bill Clinton, many of who were close enough to the Clinton's to stay in the Lincoln bedroom, are now supporting Sen. Obama's campaign.
All Hillary has is the loyal base of supporters resulting from the political machine assembled by her husband, the little qualifying experience she has is a direct result of her husband's popularity. Nobody is electing a simple lawyer with no experience to the Senate, let alone make her a leading candidate for president.
If she can't rely on her "loyal base" she has a snowball's chance in hell at getting the nomination.
