How can your analysis not consider the impact of the internet and 24/7 "coverage". The difference of scale in terms of information and strategic dissemination of talking points is so vast between this election and 80/84. Your reference to "savvy" doesn't do justice to the differences between now and then.

Also, one doesn't have to even read the articles posted on RealClearPolitics to see how various pundits consistently promote a very strategic position.

Is the delegate lead slim or insurmountable? Is the popular vote easily within her grasp (picking up 250K margin in Puerto Rico, 20+% victories in Penn, Indiana, etc.) or highly unlikely? Was Obama's speech on race great or did he throw his grandmother under the bus?

Reading the comments speaks to why some might think the campaign is destructive
