Looks like Obama found the right time to peak.

She has raised a good chunk of money the past week but how this weekend and thru today affects it going forward will be interesting.
One thing for sure is it doesn't pay to be the front runner in elections early. Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean in 2004, McCain in 2000 etc.
People and the media will always over scrutinize the front runner and over time momentum swings to the underdogs and then they become the front runner near the end of the run and before the media and public begin to sink their teeth into them as they did the previous person.
