To my fellow Obama Supporters
Let's lool seriously at his victory last night.Despite all those who were saying NC would be close
he won It by 14 points.This eleminates the PA gains for Hillary.But,let's look at Indiana.Hillary
just barely won Indiana.No matter how the Clintons spin It this was not good for her.Most polls had
a decivse win for her.This didn't happen.If not for those of the 11 percent of Republicans who came to vote for her to keep this race going(and who say they will vote for Mccain In November) Obama
might have been able to pull a razor thin victory.Regardless her win there only keeps Obama from 2
more delgates.

Some thought I was crazy when I said don't discount the Zogby polls.Gues what? While most had NC as a
narrow win he had It as a 14 point win for Obama.Now he did have Obama at 2 points ahead In a dead
heat but when you consider Republicans voting and margain of error he got Indiana better than others.
Survey USA had a double diget win there for Hillary.In fact all other polls had Hillary with a larger
win than she actully got.

Just as I always maintained Hillary would win PA I said whoever won Indiana It would be by a close
margain.I was right.Just as I said he would win NC by 10 or more.

Obama will likely get a bump In the daily tracking polls soon.

Also consider having Bill Clinton,and the Governor of NC campaiging there for her did not help.
Obama's stand on the Gas tax Holiday may have helped In Indiana.

For all the Hillary supporters who will call her more electable.Don't listen to them.

Consider this.

As In PA In Indiana a number of Republicans went to their primarys to vote against Mccain and he has won the Nomination.

46 percent of Republicans voting In the Democratic Primary voted for Obama.Some of these may do so
again In November.

Obama may be able to get the support of those who continue to come out to vote for Ron Paul.
He basiclly said he likes him better than Mccain,and predicted Obama would be elected President.

Hillary,and the media have done everything they can to finish him off.It hasn't worked.

Republicans tried to use Obama and the Wright Issue against a Democrat running In Louisania.
It failed.That was a Republican district too.Plus Obama was able to help a Democrat take Hastert's
seat.

If Obama Is so weak why Is he rasing money so fast,and she has to borrow herself money.

1. Yes. Things are good on our side of the tent. But we need to hit the other side harder.
I think it might be time for Obama to get his own kitchen sink ready to fly.

2. Obama's position is strong...
...and Clinton's is less strong (though still amazing this late in the primary). Even the MSM seems to have conceded this point.
