He definitely has the advantage of being able to win people over the more they see him which should help him over the next couple of weeks as the schedule eases up and he's got enough cash to barnstorm like crazy. As for Clinton and the debates, yes, that was clearly a push for free publicity due to her being unable to compete with Obama's insane fundraising operation.

The CNN coverage I was watching said Obama did much better in states in which he made an appearance in, which means the man is charismatic as hell. If he's got the money to go to every state left, he probably should. Clinton, my candidate of choice, is slowing down, in terms of momentum. And her calling for weekly debates I think has more to do with her not having as much money as Obama than with not being the frontrunner, though I agree it looks bad.
