Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Obama's post-PA strategy doesn't seem to be hurting him.

Notably, Clinton's negative campaigning doesn't seem to have helped her overall in IN.

I am hoping that Obama can get his message back on track soon.

A similar poll conducted March 31-April 2 found 49 percent support for Clinton, with Obama's support at 46 percent. ... The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 5 percentage points.

So... The fluctuation is within the statistical margin of error.

The bit about the negatives is interesting though...

Definitely anyone's to win or lose. But overall I think that Obama saw that PA was lost and began immediately on IN, which may pay off.

Now that Wright has come out to his very own defense we shall see how it impacts Barack. I wish he had waited until after the election to write a book or something and not talked now..... Oh well just shows how little Barack has "control" and tries to control Wright. I am concerned that Barack has not jumped on and spoken loudly about our soldiers and their needs and treatment. Be shame if Hillary runs with that and seems human.
