The we are THRILLED Obama only lost by 6% or less thread! |
|
He was behind by 21 points in PA 2 months ago!
A close loss not only is a moral victory for Obama, but makes barely a scratch in his delegate lead.
This is something to celebrate folks!
How many talking heads in the corporate media have said a Hillary BLOWOUT in PA is the only thing which could help her.
Well.....NOT in PA tonight.
Great job Obama!!!
:applause: :applause: :applause:

I'm not into moral victories. Forget tonight and move on to Senator Obama's wins to come in Indiana and North Carolina.

13. No, we need to not forget it because.... |
|
Hillary will spin it as a mandate - Obama must counter with:
How much he came back in PA! How much he still leads in delegates (barely a change)! How much he still leads the popular vote!
And then on to NC and Indiana.
We cannot sit quietly while the Clintons move the goal posts (again) and call ANY win good enough.
It's not!

12. Hillary lives on despite Obama closing the gap. |
|
Obama needs to camp out in Indiana and visit every diner, union hall and small town he can. He needs to prove he can win a blue collar industrial state again (he did it in Wisconsin, he can do it in Indiana). He will have a huge financial advantage. He should make a couple of token visits to NC (which he should win handily), but put in as much time in Indiana. If he takes in two weeks Indiana and North Carolina, along with doing better than expected in PA then the pressure on Hillary getting out of the race will be high. He also needs to avoid any kind of gaffe--period.

15. When Bill came back in NH to only lose by 16% he was the comeback kid, this is a lot bigger. |
|
GObama, he came from way behind in Penn and took it all the way to the bell.
