Given the use of surrogates in this campaign, can someone explain to me why Obama can't get his mother out on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania to address the older white woman demographic?

To the writer of the initial post:
thank you. Thank you for taking the time to write and post.

From the Hawaii Caucus:

At my ward, which had under 40 people in 2000 and 2004, there were at
least 2000 who managed to get in the room
(no doubt violating all fire regs) and lots more outside, in spite of
no parking for at least mile. (I looked). The situation was similar
all over
Oahu according to friends, basically complete chaos. No organization
could have been prepared for it, simply swamped
everyone. But everyone treated everyone with aloha, no complaints, in
spite of extremely long lines to get in if you needed to
register. Typically this ward would be dominated by elderly
Japanese-Americans. Tonight it was much younger and more diverse -
Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, Filipino-Americans, Native
Hawaiians, Locals, even a few European-Americans and
African-Americans. They ended up ripping up what paper they had and
marking it with the date, and having people write their choice in.
I did see two Hillary stickers, but my guess is a 80-20 win for Obama.
And not because he is a native son. Didn't get out till 10pm,
so don't expect counted results in for few days. But for sure an Obama
landslide.

Sorry, in case it wasn't obvious, my above comment was about the Hawaii Caucus.
