Don't sell the unexpected short....who wouldn't be impressed with a candidate who suddenly showed up to drink a beer, shoot some hoops, bowl a frame or just say "hi?" Local candidates do it all the time - because it gets people off the fence. Besides, how often do you get to see Obama as a regular guy?

The bus tour was definitely a good plan. Especially when you have heavy hitters like Senator Casey, Franco Harris and Jerome "the bus" Bettis with him.

First Read-- Please quit saying that Obama did not win eastern Ohio over. Report the whole truth. OH was the victim of Rush Limbaugh's Chaos trick. I live in Northeast Ohio and can tell you I heard people saying they were voting for Hillary because Rush told them to. Either report the whole story or leave OH out of the equation. It's still a sore subject for us. The other factor in OH was the ice storm that closed highways at 5pm, including the Ohio Turnpike because of dangerous driving condition. First Read -- you are constantly presenting yourselves as Billary supporters and its getting tiresome.

Aswini, as usual you do a poor job of putting facts in context.

Obama was making headway in OH - he closed a 20% deficit to 5% in the days leading up to the OH primary, but then NAFTA-gate and the "3 AM" ad hit, he lost some of those gains and he lost the state.

He's got more time to work on PA, and other strategies to employ, though Hillary still has a lot of institutional advantages in PA, so it's still hers to lose.

Here in Pennsylvania, the voters are enjoying, Senator Obama's visit. As I try to do my part in the blog-o-sphere, I can hear constant coverage, coming from the T.V. in the next room, of the OBAMABUS as it meanders across the state. My husband knows the only way to tear me away from the computer is to yell, "hoonneey, Baraaarck"!

One such time when I ran in to catch some news, he, Jerome Bettis, Senator Casey, and the great Franco Harris, were climbing aboard what will be their mode of travel for quite a while. Now, I know what cheese'n
for the camera looks like. My candidate, and his distinguished travel companions, looked truly joyous, as they set out on their mission of hope.

Another time I came in to take a peek, Senator Obama was greeting, and shaking hands at a blue collar, hard hat, type work sight. The workers response to him was, respectful, interested, serious, and enthused.

I did'nt take note of the blogger's name, herein, that urged Senator Obama to conduct his Pa. tour thus. I don't know if your advice fell directly upon his ear. What is known, is that these posts make a difference. They are in the political air. Thank you for your knowledge, and insight.

The smart thing about this "getting to know me" trip is that while it may not help for the primary, when he goes back through for the general election he will at least be familiar.

His campaign is always looking ahead, which is a good thing.

If the people of PA can get to know Obama at a more leisurely pace and more one-on-one like they did in Iowa, he has a chance to win there.

The funny thing with Hillary is that as people got to know her in Iowa, the less they liked her; the opposite was true of Obama.

I am so HAPPY to see Obama doing more one on one with people, I loved watching the rallies, but I know certain parts of country need him to be out there with them, rolling up sleeves, talking politics. I LOVE that he changed his tactic with time to hopefully gain some ground on Hill.. in Penn She pretty much knows she has the state won, but if he could win or even come close will cause her to pause, although she WILL NEVER QUIT, even taking it to the convention. Dear lord, let's hope that doesn't happen. Keep it up OBAMA you are the ONE at the end of the day people will be so proud of their choice!!!!

Also, Politico is running a huge story about the Clinton campaign NOT paying their bills to SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS for events early in the campaign!

Hey folks… I have submitted two comments to this blog (not this particular discussion/session) about Hillary: none has been published although I followed the rules. If this one doesn’t get to the blog either I will find another way… there are always other sources that would love to look at censored things—and their reasons.
Hillary is a mercenary. She doesn’t need small money contributions. Her husband is being honest: they need some small-time contributions to cover the big under-the-table money. As usual, Bill more easily expresses his emotions, the way he expressed if to Monica. But Hillary is the one that fumes underneath, to get the final result (like staying with her betraying husband to get power). In Freud’s view, Hillary is the one who waits for a long time to use the restroom.
Hillary is two faced: she supported the war, and now she acts like she is against it (without acknowledging her initial “mistake”). Why? Perhaps to get votes from both sides!
The American public loves honesty/integrity in their leaders. I prefer even McCain over Hillary, even if I am a Democrat.

He will win only if the voters remember the Bosnia lie told over and over again by Hillary, sees her tax returns and her ear marks. Other than that, they will fall for the sympathy card that Hillary is banking on by telling people that THEY want her to quit. Of course we know about Senator Leahy's call for her to quit but who are the others? THEY WHO? Senator Obama came out and said immediately that she should NOT be asked to quit. Hopefully the people of Pennsylvania will do their homework. They've already impeached one Clinton in the (House of Representatives). Depending on the Peter Paul trial out in Los Angeles, the next Clinton could be hauled off to jail. Wake up people and do your homework!

Obama's charm offensive in PA

Some people (Obama) try so hard to ACT sincere whereas some people (McCain) ARE sincere. You decide who is best qualified to be President. You decide who is best qualified to be Commander-In-Chief.

I hope Obama continues to visit the small towns of Pennsylvania and connect with voters. I know if he tries, he can win them over. Go ahead Obama and win this nomination. (www.barackobama.com)

Thanks, Senator Casey, for the warm welcome!

I opened my local paper this morning (Daily Item, Sunbury, PA) and there was a great picture of Obama speaking at Penn State. The headline read "Thousand Cheer Obama." Yeah, maybe it was just another Obama love-fest, but here in Central Pennsylvania it was a beautiful site to see, and a terrific story to see in the paper.

Obama has such great potential. And Hillary's only real potential is more lies. We need more than just change....we need a chance at truth and integrity. Obama provides that, and Hillary is the perfectr example of lies and deception....like Bosnia, Ireland peace, etc.,

The bowling epitomizees the man--WEAK.

When will MSNBC report on the Wah. Post article detailing how Obama exaggerated and got WRONG the fact that JFK helped his father? Gee, does Obama lie? If he has Hillary that's what would be said. Does Obama get held to the same standard as Clinton ever? The answer is no. Hillary's misstep caused days of coverage and this stuff of much laughter and taunting. But Obama gets another pass.

What does Obama do when he knows he's not favored to win PA? He goes to the PA heartland and listens to the people...bowls a few gutter balls and is not afraid to show weakness. We could use a lot more of his humility. I can't wait 'til he's president.

Go for it Obama, it does help to get out and know the people, give them a chance to tell you their ideas . I can remember when canadates came around to the farms and helped you get your hay in, may of only been a few bails but they were there and you talked.
Just be a person,Tell them what you want to do for them,just remember they want help but also have their pride and need to feel they are contribuating to the help all will get.Pride is a dangerous thing can turn against you, or can work for you. God Bless you
