Even my most reliable and unbiased news source speaks of "momentum" on the part of political candidates. In this case, I am speaking of Senator Clinton and her wins in "key" states.

I guess my question over and over again is: what is this momentum?
How does this affect how people will vote?

Possibly another word for it would be:
"Conformity" ?

Maybe "bandwagon"

or

"Caucus"

It refers to Clinton's streak of one in a row since Wyoming and Mississippi. ;-)

Sounds like the campaigns are once again proactively setting a synergistic paradigm.

On a related note, I ran across this: Obama vows to outlaw stupid corporate buzzwords

They think 50% of us are stupid and just vote for the person that one the last one 50% of the time. Oddly, 50% of the time they are probably right.

(which bandwagon this may refer to depends entirely on whose point of view you're listening to)

i think it is the way the news stations continue to make a story where there may (or may not be) a story
Momentum (unlike the math) can change daily hence keeping stories alive.
just my 2 cents
