The truly amazing thing with the Obama vs. Clinton race
Is the fact that The Clintons can be at 3 different places at once. Hillary in PA, Bill in Indiana, and Chelsea in North Carolina.

This is a hugh disadvantage that Obama is against 3 different people.

Its really truly amazing that Obama is ahead.

I guess because Im supporting Obama now and I see how Bill Clinton is one place and the media show sound bites from him. Then they show Chelsea in another state and the media shows that...then they show Hillary in another place with more sound bites. Yet Obama is just him and usually only gets the same face time that Hillary gets.


I guess the message of change is so strong that even the top notch Clinton machine can't stop it!

1. I would think Chelsea's pull is about as strong

As Michelle's pull, so it's more like 3 against 2

7. Michelle is on the campaign on a limited basis as they are committed to
not changing their daughters activities and schedule

2. 'Bout time someone pointed this out.
Not that Michelle is small potatoes, but Bill is still called "Mr. President" for a reason.

3. Obama has the Media--the biggest Machine of all.
It is not so much change as the Power of the Media.

6. The post is about the media bending over backwards
giving the Clinton's Three Times the Coverage.

But i guess you know that.

4. Chelsea has more pull
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 12:32 PM by BigD_95
I live in PA and when Chelsea first came to PA she was on the front of our local paper. Michelle was never in the paper with an entire article. Chelsea has been grabbing headlines when she was in PA.

11. Oh, c'mon, that is no disadvantage for Obama!
It only means that the Hillary camp can wound itself in three different places at once.
