Click on CNN Live tab, then on Obama video (Hillary event also streaming live now...but watch Barack!)

I just tuned in, event was scheduled to start at 6 pm. It's a Town Hall, so he should be taking questions.

1. Do you get the sense that, due to the amt of time he's spending in IN...
...that he feels he has PA locked up?;):hi:

2. No, I think he's just competing for every state, without letting the media or the Clinton
campaign define Pennsylvania as the Ultimate Battle to Decide the Nomination.

With seven weeks between March 4 and PA, and ten contests to go, it wouldn't be wise to put all his time in PA, a state where the demographics heavily favor Clinton. He can--and will-win more delegates in NC and IN than Clinton will in PA, and a double win on May 6, which is very possible, will open up the floodgates for the superdelegates and effectively end the race. Indiana is just as important as PA, and more favorable with Chicago bordering the state.

6. Nope.. he's just doing what he's done all along
Showing up EVERYWHERE and asking for their support.. he hasn't "written off" any state..

While the other campaign has been nit-picking, threatening with lawsuits, whining and complaining how unfair it all is, he's just been plugging along, going state to state, and not complaining about how hard it is, or how mean people are being to him..

It's the classic grasshopper & the ant.. The grasshopper sat back and awaited the coronation, while the ant got out there and worked his ass off..

8. 11 days of campaigning until PA
I imagine he'll spend many of those in PA.

4. "I believe in the Constitution, I've taught the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution."
It's a standard line in his stump speech, and always gets a rousing applause.

9. "I think first and foremost the job of the Supreme Court is to look out for those people that
are the most vulnerable."

Protect the powerless from the powerful.

"I want somebody who believes in civil rights, believes in free speech, believes in transparency."

10. "I hope you give me the opportunity to serve as your President." That's the first time
I've heard him use this closing line.

Obama is going to win Indiana. And he will win big in North Carolina. Game, set, match.
