I called and canvassed for Senator Obama in MontCo PA for 3 days in the run up to the PA vote. (I came up from VA). I was disappointed when I heard the campaign start to make statements that 'Obama was not expecting to win PA' on Monday. On election day (Tuesday), the message was reinforced that he didn't expect to win the vote AND he'd set-up his post-vote speech in Indiana. I'm sorry, but, political calculations aside, that was a great way to suck the wind out of the supporters' sails - let alone the undecided and late voters in PA.
That was not the smartest move, Sen. Obama.
I voted for you in the VA primary, and worked for you in the PA primary. If you want me to believe you can actually carry the Democratic nomination and lead us to victory vs. McCain:
- Win Indiana DECISIVELY.
- Win North Carolina - as all polls/pundits/demographics suggest you will
Then: Stop playing nice and tell Hillary that it's time for her to step ASIDE!
