Obama trudges up into plane after Pennsylvania.

[gauguin57]

Gettin' on a plane from Pittsburgh to Indiana. Looks a little dejected. I'd like to give him a hug!

[Colobo]

1. There goes our next president... ready to battle in fertile grounds!

[Blue_Roses]

2. He looks TIRED! He's worked his ass off and then some...

he's doing a great job. He needs some time with his family ...

[GarbagemanLB]

3. at least he doesn't have to worry about being able to afford fueling the plane, unlike someone else.

[islandmkl]

5. do you take checks?

[Fearless]

6. She could hitchhike? Or after she bombs Iran will gas be too expensive for anyone?

[chascarrillo]

13. Hope she has her bookbag with her.

[Zachstar]

Haha BINGO! JP fuel is EXPENSIVE these days!

[boston bean]

4. That is a fantastic picture! nt

[ananda]

7. Well, in the past two weeks..

Obama has taken some pretty hard bodyblows
from MSM.

Bittergate was tough.

Still, even after PA, he will still be leading
in delegate count.

That makes NC and IN pretty important on May 6.

8. I predict he'll have a long career in politics...

He is a fascinating orator and he's earning his chops with this primary. I like him very much.

Peace, love and happiness,

Radio Lady Ellen

20. He'll be our president for the next 8 years. What a career he'll have!

[Radio_Lady]

23. "Let's let some time fill." I'm just hoping that McCain won't have an advantage over EITHER of

these Democrats!

That's the most important thing.

Thank you for your comments.

Cordially,

Radio Lady in Oregon

PS. NY Times Op-Ed Columnist has an interesting column today -- suggest you read it and I'll try to find the link if I have time before my optometry appointment this afternoon.

9. That, or he is watching his footing walking up a flight of stairs

I know, Mrs. Clinton walks on water.

Is this all ya got?

[gauguin57]

18. Ummmm ... the fact that I want to give him a hug should indicate how I voted today.

I'll give you a hint. I do not think Hillary walks on water.

All I was doing was posting a cool pic. But go ahead, take everything personally if you'd like.

PA isn't gonna leave us all singing Kumbaya, I guess.

[Yael]

21. I misread you. Also here in PA and too many hours on the ground today

I am sorry -- shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I am really worn out and probably should just go to bed.

My report from today from the inner city: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5627088

I hope you enjoy! It was worth taking a vacation day. I had a blast.

Its finally over. :hug:

[Zachstar]

10. We asked him to put PA in play! he has done so! Give him a few days for rest!

Meanwhile we will continue to build support and the warchest for Obama so that this ends May 6th!

Obama! You worked HARD for a win and even tho it did not Happen in PA you did not accept a 20 point loss so I thank you!

11. [imitating Cosell] Behold a man who has just shat on another person's electoral ambitions

[Olney Blue]

12. That's an amazing pic, capturing the plane in the air and his elegant profile.

14. Obama camp reaction to Hillary's win...

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Sen. Barack Obama was en route from Philadelphia to Evansville, Ind., when the race was called, but the candidate and his advisers were all smiles when they boarded the plane, relieved that the dreaded blowout had not occurred. The news of a projected single-digit win for Clinton -- a projection that might yet change -- was transmitted via BlackBerrys as the campaign landed.

"We've been very clear from the beginning, we didn't come in with oversized expectations," said David Axelrod, Obama's chief political adviser. "We wanted to get our share."

Campaign officials were particularly pleased about his strong showing with new voters, including independents and Republicans who changed registration in order to participate in the primary. Obama's ability to expand the party's base beyond traditional groups like union members and African Americans is a key part of his pitch to superdelegates, and the campaign believes the 230,000 new Democrats who registered in Pennsylvania could make the state that much easier for Democrats to win in November.

"That number is very important and it augers well for the fall, in Pennsylvania and around the country," said Axelrod.

15. Looks more like he is watching his step going up the stairs.

Wouldn't you?

[cureautismnow]

16. Godspeed. He lives to fight another day.

The longest overtime in modern history continues...

17. With a carry on!

On comparing Hillary's baggage to Obama's


Hillary has to stop and check her baggage, and pay a fee for being over the limit to boot. Obama sails right through with a carry on!

19. most people keeping up his pace would have to be wheeled on that plane n/t

[madrchsod]

22. he knew he was`t going to win

north carolina is next

[stillcool]

24. Damn workaholic!

[Kajsa]

25. He looks exhausted!

Maybe he can catch some Z's on the plane.

He also looks like he's watching his step.

I'd like to give him a hug, too.

:hug:

[graycem]

26. I think he feels ok...

MSNBC just said that 50 Edwards backers have tossed their support to Obama. I don't know who they are exactly... does anyone else??

[mrreowwr_kittty]

27. I thought he and Michelle looked pretty happy last night in IN.

I got the sense that he did better than they expected.

[gblady]

28. great pic

looks to me like he's putting one foot ahead of the other....
climbing up to higher ground....
carrying the load...
Godspeed, Barack...
and thanks, for all your hard work!

[kwenu]

29. He needs a vacation but we KNOW Michelle will be his rock.

[Az_lefty]

30. He did very well in a state Hillary was expected to win...

this was no "Big Win" for Hillary, she could easily have lost this one.
