He doesn't have to narrow his margin there, the math is more than impossible for Hillary no matter what. It would be nice, but it is in no way necessary for him to close the gap in WV or KY.

Maybe the campaign isn't just clearly determined on using its financial advantage...maybe the campaign wants to actually compete in all the states that are left.

And, get his ground organization for the general revved up.

Why does he "need" to narrow the gap in WV, or KY or wherever?

that they *care* about

Oilbama is clearly wiser than most of his supporters realizing this primary is not over. Bully for him.

He will force McCain to fight for every single vote, even in the states where McCain might be inclined to feel safe.

word up.

I get the idea that Howard is nervous enough about the GE to really be serious about starting it right now and I suspect we'll see more and more campaigning against Himmary.

Hillary could be ignored to death, ya know - that would be loverly.

"This is for me a no-brainer," Gov. Strickland said. "If we're going to plan to win in November, we need to choose the candidate that has the greatest strength in the states that are necessary to get us the electoral votes we need." He added: "I hope the superdelegates are paying attention."

Today, the headline in the media is wright.

This weekend, another meltdown on Fox News.

Time for Obama to drop out so we can win this time.

Enough with the radicals. It is a sure loser in the general.

Obama's lead dwindled steadily all week, falling from a high of 10 percentage points in interviewing conducted in the three days just prior to the Pennsylvania primary. The percentage of Democrats supporting Obama declining from 50% in April 19-21 polling to 48% today). Most of Clinton's increased support (from 40% to 47%) has come from previously undecided voters. Clearly the people who did not drink the Obama Koolaid never will. Clinton fares better than Obama against John McCain in hypothetical matchups for the November election. Clinton is running two points ahead of McCain, 47% to 45%, while Obama is running one point behind, 45% to 46%.
Clearly Obama has peaked and is going to fall hard in a crash landing. Thank goodness for Rev Wright telling the truth about Obama, that he spins like a politician but really beleives everthing Rev Wright is saying. Obama needs to drop out now before he ruins the party.

Seriously when are people going to view this chickenshit Obama campaign without blinders on. To chicken to allow Michigan to vote! To chicken to debate! Maybe in Obama land with the koolaid drinkers this seems presidential, to the rest of the country it looks like a little whining baby.
Rev Wright now says Obama agrees with everything he has said but spins like a politician to chicken to tell the truth!.
Obama needs to drop out now before he ruins the party.

Why is he buying local airtime anywhere? Just buy national airtime and start running that 50 state strategy against all rivals.

dembillc:

are you "too" chicken to learn the difference between "to," "too," and "two"? i find it telling that you clintonites believe - and i mean, you've actually deluded yourselves to this point - that the fact that all of the candidates agreed that florida and michigan wouldn't be counted before the primaries began. does this mean nothing to anyone anymore? why does hillary get to change the rules whenever they don't suit her?

and now you're quoting rev. wright as an authority? i'm sure that just two days ago, you couldn't get enough of repeating a couple of little snippets of his sermons. but now that he said something that you can misconstrue for your own purposes... well, now he should be quoted and listened to.

furthemore, why would obama drop out now? he has won. this is what you people don't seem to understand. as the allied forces were walking into western germany and the russians closed in on berlin, they didn't decide to sue hitler for peace. the winners don't drop out. the losers drop out. (unless you're a clinton. then you can pretty much do whatever you want to and pretend like you're doing the world a favor.)

you clinton supporters are out of f**king minds. now you're all making pledges to support john mccain and help extend republican dominance over the country for another generation, simply because you're convinced that hillary is the ONLY person worthy of the presidency. if that's your solution, then fine. but stop calling yourselves democrats. stop calling yourselves liberals. stop pretending like you care about the country. for you to help the republicans hold onto the white house for another four more years makes you fully culpable for the havoc that they will wreak on the country and the world.

you're tearing the party up. you're planning on ruining the country. i hope that your devotion to hillary was worth it. personally, i enjoy civil rights.

i guess we deserve the fallout, since we didn't see the light. pretty stiff price to pay, simply because you guys are sore losers...

Come on.

No one has done more for West Virginia than Barack Obama.
