I'm curious, and puzzled... help me...
The polls are all over the map...

The punditocracy has proclaim that thru their vast store of knowledge and wisdom,
PA will go Clinton, but the percentage points vary...

BUT...

I see these massive, huge events for Obama, people coming out of the woodwork,
such energy, incredible emotion....

He can appear unexpectedly on Main Street in Bethlehem, and 100 folks show up
from the neighborhood (heck, I was 12 miles away, If I'd only known...!!!)

I see millions of dollars in donations for Obama, most of it small donations
from online donors....

I see Obama posters where I least expect them...

THEN....

I see Hillary events that are organized, but very predictable and polite..

I know her finances are not good, and she's deeply in debt...

I don't see as many Hillary posters, etc...

What's going on? Is it only his cash flow that is drowning the state
in his brand? Is he a flash in the pan? Is it her name recognition that
is reflected in the polls? Or are we gonna have a surprise?

1. He's going to lose. Don't buy into Clinton's spin.
The issue isn't making it a victory for him in terms of delegates, but cutting down on the percent by which she leads. Which he has done.

2. I agree.
Something strange is going on. I've only talked to three people who support Hillary and they were calling for my vote. Everyone I talk to is planning to vote for Obama. I think some of the polls are meant to obscure the peoples choice. If so, we cannot accept the results. The only way to insure a fair election is for everyone to get a receipt. The receipt would then be shown to exit pollers and a separate record would be generated for verification purposes.

3. You want help? Stay away from the polls and pundits until late tomorrow, early Weds.
