Chris Matthews wonders what happened to the honest days of yore when campaign strategists worked for canidates they believed in and didn't ask for large sums of money. Say what? On the plus side, the conventional wisdom seems to have shifted to the position that Mark Penn was a disastrous waste of money. Howard Fineman, meanwhile, argues that Obama will win in the end using an incredibly complicated Monopoly metaphor. Now MSNBC is saying that it is "too early to call" the race but "Clinton is in the lead." Update: Forgot to mention that Fineman made a very good point which is that Obama has successfully forced Clinton to spend all her money to stay competitive in Pennsylvania. --Sam Boyd
