Do you live in PA, hazmat? (none / 0)
I've seen one ad on the TV for Barack.  I'm sure there have been many more but I haven't seen them.  And, sure, maybe I'm falling for the media's portrayal of Obama's campaign, but I do not see the effort being made here - yet.  His speech in Philly was remarkable.  I'm not used to having a smart person at the podium explaining some of our national crises to me like an adult.  I'm too used to GW and his dumbing down of America.  But, after that speech, where did he go?  Did he stay in PA?  No, he went to NC.  What about campaigning in Pittsburgh, in Allentown, in Harrisburg - all the major cities?  The next time he's coming out here is 2 days before the vote.  I'm just saying that he should be spending more time and money in PA - he has the cash and he has the time.  I don't see any Obama 2008 posters within 10 miles of my home, and I live outside of Allentown.  I saw one person with a bumper sticker, but I haven't seen any action on the ground.  Is this the way he runs his campaign all over?  I'm just saying I think he and his staff can do better in PA.  Maybe I'm wrong.  I've certainly talked him up a bunch.

I didn't appreciate that you do. If what you say is true, that's unfortunate. But consider also that there's what, 9 contests left? While Hillary is putting all her eggs in one or two baskets, probably PA and NC, Barack has recognized that even though he has an insurmountable lead, he's campaigning hard in every remaining primary, because they're all important. He just swung by here in OR on friday. We've never seen a national primary candidate here. We probably won't ever see Hillary.

Its definitely uncharacteristic of his campaign to concede anything, or even to concede the initiative. Are you undecided?
