Donuts And Politics

Both Obama and Clinton spoke yesterday at an event where, when Clinton brought up Obama’s “bitter” comments, she got booed and many of the audience groaned. And this was talking to these blue-collar factory workers. I think she has WAY overplayed her hand on this one and Obama has done a great job of explaining the intention of his remarks and hitting right back at her.When McCain and Clinton both attack him using pretty much the same talking points, what does that tell you? Both establishment political types. We need a fresh start….come on my native Pennsylvanians and vote Obama!

Meanwhile, some new polling has come out since the remarks last Friday, basically showing no real losses for Obama and even some gains in Indiana and NC. Unless he starts getting polls showing him leading by 5 or more points in PA, I still think she wins the state. But it ain’t gonna make a lot of difference because she isn’t going to win by what she needs to. She wins by less than 10% and she won;t gain much more than 10-20 delegates I suspect (from what I’ve read).

Don’t forget there is ANOTHER DEBATE coming up on Wednesday on ABC at 8:00pm EST. Maybe Obama will knock her out or she’ll make a big mistake. More than likely it won’t affect much. But it’ll still be interesting. Do we get Nice Hillary or Evil Hillary? Stay tuned….
