April 1st
We will know if this campaign is ending in May or it is going to continue because that should be the time fundraising numbers are announced.

If HRC doesn't have at least 35 million to speak of for March than its over...if she has it or more it continues for another month.
She can't loan herself anymore money...it would be a sign of weakness. PA media markets are expensive and its going to take around 15 million to run a campaign through there It will cost at least 20 million to run any kind of operation in NC and IN where there is no built in network she can take over like she has in PA.

We'll have the PA primary because she can use Fast Eddie's team but without the money to run in IN and NC she won't have much to run on.

1. Good point ... and Obama has been campaigning in NC and IN
He has the money to compete there, so even if he loses PA, he'll still have
the money to go on to NC and IN ... whereas she may be running on a shoestring
again.

2. The nice thing also about Indiana
Is it borders Illinois. Which means he can bring in alot of his out of state volunteers in with very little cost in travel or time. Plus the northwest part of the state is in the Chicago media market.

3. Hey Jake, I'm going to the Phils first night game vs the Nats...
plus a half dozen other games during the season....

Best game I ever saw in person was Mets vs Phils last August. Ryan Howard hit walk-off homer in the bottom of the tenth to win it...Place went ballistic...last year was a great atmosphere at CB Park. Hope we can keep it going this year...

8. I hope so too
What an end of the Season that was. I can remember sitting with my buddies at the bar watching the Marlins rack up points on the Mets before the Phils final game.

I'm hoping they build on what they did last year. I think the new 3rd baseman Pedro is going to get a few more hits than he did last year because he'll be playing at a more hitter friendly park. Won't replace Rowan but it will do.

Pitching, Pitching, Pitching sigh...

Whatever happens with their line up their always great to watch.

4. My Daughter & I went to see Bill speak yesterday in Logansport, In.
and in less than 24 hrs, about an hour ago, I received a call from Hillary's campaign in PA asking where would be a good place to set up headquarters in my town. It seemed very odd to me. Yes, they're pulling out all of the stops right now.

9. They know nothing
About the state because its so Red it wasn't on their radar before two weeks ago....That's what worries me most about her as a nominee, her strategy to win the nomination after all she came in with is so bad, how is she going to do in the General Election..
