A couple of quick bits at the end of the day:
First, I got my hands on some Yahoo Buzz stats for the Democrats in New York State that show that, while Barack Obama enjoyed a huge surge in attention directly before and after the South Carolina primary, Hillary Clinton has been enjoying a rise in attention too.
Between Jan. 28 and Jan 29 -- Monday and Tuesday of this week -- Obama's numbers fell and Clinton's rose even more sharply, closing the gap between the two. Oh, what does it all mean? I'll provide an update as we get closer to Tuesday's primary.

We're also anxiously awaiting the results of MoveOn's endorsement primary. If the comments beneath Ari Melber's post about it at the Nation are any indication, things are getting pretty ugly.
If their members vote for Obama, it'll prove that She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed is getting into a bit more trouble than we thought," wrote commenter Mask.
And for what it's worth, Matt Stoller thinks Obama's going to win this one: "If Moveon goes for Obama, Clinton will be reaping her own harvest," he wrote.
If MoveOn moves the weight of its 3.2 million supporters behind their Obama, it could be a huge loss for Clinton -- the final nail in the netroots coffin.
