Barack - One presumptuous Democrat!

It seems that the past few days have seen Barack Obama getting busy with general election strategies. These strategies include the aforementioned trip to Michigan, a 'faith' flyer circulating in Kentucky, and John Edwards leading an establishment rally. Barack also seems to be "locking the party down". He is doing this despite the fact that he has only won 3 out of 9 primaries since February and the DNC has yet to make a final decision about Florida and Michigan. In racing or track, the sort of behavior would be considered a false start and can lead to disqualification. Unfortunately, it is extremely unlikely to happen in the realm of a political race. Why? Primarily because there is no rule against it. The DNC had the foresight to make rules regarding when states can hold their primaries. However, they seem to be myopic when it comes to making rules for prospective presidential candidates and when they can start campaigning for the general election.

Does anyone else see the injustice here? Does anyone else out there think that Barack is jumping the gun? What, if anything, should be done? I think, at minimum, the DNC should pull the reigns on Barack and say, "not so fast. there's no clear winner yet." Of course, then he'll claim that he's just doing this for the primaries. "Change We Can Believe In." Yeah, right. Face it. You're just another Washington politician.
