Bill, maybe, gets some adulation from masses of people. Not Hilary, not never.

I've seen them both in person, and I can see his appeal.  She's good, she's really good, but he has got Charisma with a capital "C."

However, there is NO comparison to make between what we are seeing with Obama and anything I've experienced, other than maybe, The Beatles or a religious leader.

And, while I could be wrong, could be overreacting, I am really concerned.

Show me a leader that allows him/herself to be so focused upon, so adored, and basks in it as I perceive Obama does, and I see (potential) dangers.  I hope he knows enough to keep a grip on who he is, and who is isn't. In a situation like this, we have to rely on him to keep checking reality.

The best thing about this Primary, at least I hope, is that Obama can honestly begin to claim to have EARNED the nomination, whereas it was looking like an easy stroll a couple months back. And that would be bad prep for the GE and bad for the sense that he was annointed.

He needs to get a grip on his supporters, surrogates, stop basking and earn our respect and support. I want to see hard work, the courage to fight, state his convictions and stand by them.

If he wants to win by more than a slim margin, or avoid LOSING by a slim margin, he'd better get my strong support, and as many of Hilary's supporters as he can manage.  He's got work to do and he'd better get over himself and get to it.
