3. I'm wondering if the weekend is going to heat up

4. Only 1 day left really...

But that's days in politics...

2. While I agree with him in principle

how does that work with the 15% rule?

5. I think he has to meet it, or his people have to switch to one who does, or they

can remain uncommitted.

6. the supporters say, "We can't get enough of you!"

7. ' I want you to hold strong for that mom & dad working 3 jobs"'

8. It's important to play honestly

Read my post about Clinton tactics sending her caucus people over to O'Malley as long as it doesn't hurt her but blocks Sanders.

In 2008 she screamed how dare they when it appeared it was an agreement between Richardson and Obama to do it to her.

This time, it's been confirmed that Clinton is training her people to do it - but that there is no agreement from the O'Malley people. Thank you for trying to run an honest campaign. Too bad Clinton will be using O'Malley for her dishonest one.

9. I think the article overstated the strategy

...nothing new there, except, perhaps, the 'new app' Clinton supporters will use to monitor their risk in trading delegates and such.

Sanders folks are free to use the same tactics with O'Malley's supporters to try and gain some advantage, as well. I can't imagine they'll shy away from that, especially if a tight contest develops.

But if either camp is ahead, or, for that matter, behind, why risk trading off your own support? It doesn't make much sense to me.
