This Pennsylvanian is voting Obama

[Red Knight]

And I'll tell you why-----strategy.

I find it amusing how the Clinton/Obama people engage in silly stubburn fights over candidates who basically offer the same thing. There just isn't THAT big a difference that it makes sense to sit out an election and hand it to McCain, or just fight to the end tearing each other apart and giving it to McCain. I can't believe that anyone here really wants that.

To me, I realize I won't get the things that my candidate offered because there truly are differences between Kucinich and the big two, but I will not sit by and watch the Republicans win another one. So the important question for me is---who can beat him?

Clinton can never attack him for his war vote. Obama can. You can argue all day long how Obama might have voted but the fact is his hands are clean on this one.

The polls show that Obama does better against McCain. It's just a fact.

Obama gets more crossover voters.

Clinton---like it or not--has a high unfavorablity rating.

I want to win this one. The stubbornness to the point of self-destruction is insane when you consider what's at stake.

So yeah, I'm 45, make well under 100,000 dollars a year, a white male and I'll be voting Obama. And I'm hoping at this point that the rest of this state does the same thing and brings an end to this mess so we can focus on winning an actual presidential election.

3. Use your head.

This poll shows how Obama does against McCain - BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN ATTACK MACHINE HAS SHREDDED HIM.

See the difference?

5. And this assumes

that they are done shredding Hillary?

I doubt that.

She can keep putting her name with McCain's in touting experiece as a factor and then when she no longer has that in the general try to backtrack in how she didn't mean that McCain's experience made him fit for office. In the meantime, I don't hear McCain speaking in any positive terms about her.

You think that won't get ugly?

Use your head.


The right wing hasn't even begun to dig into Clinton. You can believe that. If you want to see ugly, wait for that.

4. I'm sick and tired of Clinton getting to set the agenda

There are two states before Pennsylvania - Wisconsin and Mississippi - and Obama is going to romp in both states.

But will anyone care? Probably not.

No, only the states that Hillary is expected to do well in will people pay attention to.

It's sickening.
