Listen here if you're interested in knowing what the BBC wanted to know about how I feel and how I feel about the Samantha Power incident.

From a clinical perspective, the fact that Ms. Power was unable to filter out intense negative comments about Hillary Clinton and her campaign during an on-the-record interview while on a book tour indicates that Ms. Power may be the one who is obsessed with Ohio, rather than, as she says, Ohio being obsessed (about what, we're not quite sure but some believe Ms. Power meant that Ohio is obsessed with Hillary Clinton).

But the fact remains: as much as we malign strategists, advisors and consultants, those individuals have to be obsessed, at some level, with their candidate and winning and campaiging. Isn't that a requirement? Sure - the money is a factor. But at the level where Ms. Power served, it's about passion, maybe power but less likely money - at least at this campaigning stage.

And if the Obama campaign has been about anything, it's been about getting obsessed with his message. They didn't call one of his campaign ads "Join" for nothing.
