Obama's "Throw The Kitchen Sink" Tactics: The Strategy Of A Shoo In?

While we are being told by the usual suspects that Obama is a shoo in for the nomination, this article tells a different story:

Sen. Barack Obama is trying to air his dirty laundry -- even some items that might appear just a little wrinkled -- as he prepares a full assault on Sen. Hillary Clinton over ethics and transparency.

Hardly the approach of someone who has wrapped up the nomination. Perhaps this explains it?

In such a long primary battle, Obama said being dynamic is essential. "You have to constantly renew yourself and what you're saying and what you're doing," he said, adding that he partially blames recent losses in Texas and Ohio on his message getting "stale."

No doubt going overtly negative and acknowledging that you are doing so would be a new message for Obama. I do not object to it myself but I wonder how all those railing about Hillary going negative are going to take it.
