Is Obama going to campaign in West Virginia at all?

[book_worm]

Obviously he will win, but I'd like him to make a few apperances to try and get his percentage a few points higher. But then maybe they see such a big win for Hillary they will say, "We didn't campaign at all in WVA."???

1. I think he's making appearances there this weekend

But I did read (and now I don't remember where) that he was taking his campaign larger. He is beginning his campaign for the GE and will return to the swing states.

I think if the media stops covering Hillary and the contributions dry up, she can say all she wants but no one will hear or care.

They should cover HER campaign in the same way they covered John Edwards' campaign. (Who? Is he running? Who knew?)

2. Yep. They need people making calls into West Virginia - every delegate is sacred.

The West Virginia primary is this Tuesday, May 13th. There are now only half a dozen contests remaining, and Barack is just 33 delegates away from securing a majority of all pledged delegates.

The West Virginia primary has been an uphill battle, but we've built a broad based, grassroots operation there, backed by a dozen field offices and over 60 staffers on the ground. From the beginning, we've made a commitment to compete in every state for every vote, and even as we near the end of this long primary campaign we haven't let up. Over the next four days, we're asking grassroots phonebankers across the country to make calls to voters in West Virginia to help Get Out The Vote for Barack.

On Thursday, West Virginia Deputy State Director Rudi Shenk spoke to the National Call Team about our goals for Tuesday's primary, and the impact that your calls can have:

We're competing vigorously for every single delegate ...There is a clear, clear goal and mission: to gather up as many delegates as possible. The way these delegates work is that if you push the needle from 23% to 26% support in a particular area, or from 39% to 43% in a particular Congressional district, the dividends are great. In fact, we stand to gain a lot of delegates here by our activities.
