Obama Campaign on Pennsylvania

posted by on March 12 at 13:13 PM

Important, but not as important as the Clinton campaign says:

Now that Mississippi is behind us, we move on to the next ten contests. The Clinton Campaign would like to focus your attention only on Pennsylvania – a state in which they have already declared that they are “unbeatable.” But Pennsylvania is only one of 10 remaining contests, each important in terms of allocating delegates and ultimately deciding who are nominee will be.

Thank god I don't have to go all the way to www.barackobama.com to get this vital information.

I think u meant mybarackobama.com ...

But it's funny how the MSM is so suckered into the Clinton ploy of only paying attention to one state (Pottstown represent! Go Penguins!) instead of the loss by Clinton in Texas and all the other states.

David Plouffe - "More than half of the votes that Senator Clinton has won so far have come from just five states. And in four of these five states, polls show that Barack would be a stronger general election candidate against McCain than Clinton."

Clinton doesn't believe that the states in which she lost count in any meaningful way. That would be all of us in Washington, where she was destroyed by Obama.

Now she's going dirty in hopes of salvaging her nomination. She ignores the delegate count and the reality that she isn't going to get more delegates than Obama going into the convention.

Why doesn't she quit now so we can focus on what's important - beating McCain?

Ego. Just like Nader, she is all ego. And she'll tear this party apart and give the white house to McCain, just like Nader did for Bush.

Well, I don't know what Clinton thinks, but I know Ferraro is resigning from Clinton's campaign.

Isn't this kind of a slam on Pennsylvania? It seems like this could be worded better to avoid sounding like it's discounting the largest state left on the electoral calendar.

For the states where Clinton won big, is she suggesting that if Obama is the presidential candidate that the same people who voted for Clinton would NOT vote for Obama? Maybe I have a flair for the obvious, but if people voted for Clinton in the primary isn't it likely that they would vote for Obama at the general election? Hello.

Obama has a better chance of getting moderate Republicans to vote for him than Clinton does. If she is the candidate, moderate Republicans will vote for McCain.

@7
Until Clinton both rejects and renounces Ferraro, Ferraro is her surrogate and Ferraro's words are Clintons.

I can't even believe we have a top Democrat connected with anybody saying this crap. This is one mother sad day for the Democratic party.

@8: How is it a slam on Pennsylvania to point out that it is one of ten remaining contests, and that each is important? A: it isn't, unless you really really really want to buy what Clinton's selling.

Counter-question: Isn't it kind of a slam on the 30+ states Obama's won for Clinton to say that only the large states matter? Seems like that could be, um, worded better, too.

Cascadian is bitter, & is to be ignored.

PA is a little more than a fourth of all the remaining contests, in terms of pledged delegates up for grabs: 158 out of 566.

Big states vs. little states: if only there was some way to quantify the difference, and adjust proportionately for size and level of support, and count up the difference to see....

With all due respect to our fine fellow citizens of the Keystone State, they can go ahead and vote for "More War Less Jobs" McCain and Obama still takes the Electoral College in November. So go ahead and vote for Clinton in the preview.

Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Chaney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Chaney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.

The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.

Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.

http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/

Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.

Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.

Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama's campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and disclose Obama's MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke "GLORK" Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --

OBAM YOU'RE NO JFK --

"GLORK" Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: "Tales Calculated To Drive You." He is a MUSLIM "Glork" He's MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek.

Michelle Obama should be ashamed.

"GLORK" Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. He is a MUSLIM "Glork" It’s time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He's MAD!!!
