So, apparently, in 1980 after he won the Iowa caucus, George H.W. Bush crowed to the press that he had "Big Mo"--i.e., political momentum. Since then, it's been some kind of unwritten rule amongst pundits of a certain age that they must use this phrase at least once per article when referring to political momentum in general.
This has to stop. "Big Mo" is an awful way to denote "political momentum"--it sounds bad, it isn't witty, and its origin is totally obscure and non-witty.
Just saying.
