people who are actually IN the obama campaign have showed a similar ignorance of the dynamics:

"Look at how many switched today to Obama," he said. "Look at the Clinton supporters, look at Maxine Waters [the congresswoman from California who endorsed Hillary Clinton in late January but switched to Obama on Tuesday], who were passionate advocates for Hillary, but who switched to Obama."

so successfully muscling one elected official, whose career depends on toeing the party line, means that all of hillary's supporters will automatically support obama. boy, these people are new to politics.
