The Obama wave
By Derrick Z. Jackson | Wednesday, February 6, 2008 | The Boston Globe
“…Barack Obama was a human crescendo in the final days, with crowds of 20,000 both in St. Louis and Minneapolis and 15,000 both in Hartford and Boise, Idaho. Clinton watched 20- to 35-point leads in the polls shrivel all over the nation. Clinton may still have enough of the Democratic establishment, white women, and personal grit to survive and eke out the Democratic nomination for president.
But she is decisively not catching the kind of wave of thousands of people who streamed Monday night out of Boston’s Seaport area and packed the subways in Boston. Thousands of young adults on the subway at midnight in Boston and it was not a Red Sox celebration, a Saturday night, or First Night? It was for Obama on a Monday night?…”…BS

Waves crest and then fall. And the higher the wave, the bigger the crash. And the reason for this is that waves have little foundation to support them.
