Senator: Obama Can Win Pa. In November

Political Players: Obama Supporter Bob Casey Touts Candidate's Qualities, Leadership Ability

(CBS)  Political Players is a weekly conversation with the leaders, consultants, and activists who shape American politics. This week, as the two Democratic candidates prepare for their April 22nd contest in Pennsylvania, CBS News' Brian Goldsmith talked with Barack Obama's chief supporter there, Sen. Bob Casey, about campaign contributions, issue positions, and leadership styles.

---

CBSNews.com: The Obama campaign is spending something like $2.2 million a week on TV in your home state, which some people say is just unheard of. Is it reasonable for them to say, on the one hand, we’re spending record amounts--and on the other hand, we can't win?

Sen. Bob Casey: (LAUGHS) Well, I think in our Senate race, there were several weeks we were spending at that level. But no, it's a lot of money. Here's the differential. President Clinton and Senator Clinton have been campaigning in Pennsylvania for many years, 15 years, really. So, I think it's difficult to make up for that in a number of weeks, when you talk about 15 years.

In the end, he may outspend Senator Clinton on television. But there does reach a point where the volume begins to level off. In other words, you spend at a certain level and the law of diminishing returns begins to kick in. But I think it'll be a spirited contest. I don't know what the result will be. I think he can make progress.

But he is clearly and definitively the underdog, and remains that way in Pennsylvania. But I do think his message of hope and of change and a message that's based upon honesty and tackling the special interests isn't just a message for a campaign. He's already proving that he can be a different kind of president, because he's already broken the grip of special interests and fundraising. He doesn't need them. He's been able to fund his campaign with contributions largely from people that don't have a lot of power, and are sending him $10 or $20 or $50 or $100.

CBSNews.com: Well, let me ask you about those contributions because that's become a campaign issue between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. Clinton claims that Obama's being disingenuous when he says in one of his ads that he doesn't take any money from oil companies, because he does take money from oil company executives. And obviously, companies can't give money to a campaign in any event. They're urging him to take down that ad. What's your view on that?

Sen. Bob Casey: Well, look, I'm not the spokesman for ad content. I'm a public official in Pennsylvania. I'm a senator. And I support Senator Obama strongly--principally, because I think when I look at what our state confronts, our biggest problems ahead of us in terms of workforce, in terms of keeping young people in Pennsylvania, building an economy, the concern that I and others have about foreign affairs, I think Senator Obama's got the ability and already demonstrated the leadership skills to be the kind of leader that can bring the country together and bring the world together.

CBSNews.com: Let me ask you about some Senate-related issues, some votes. Their records are so similar but the Clinton campaign always points to the vote in 2005 to confirm General Casey as Army Chief of Staff--Senator Obama was for that, and Senator Clinton was opposed.

And also in 2005, there was an energy bill that the Clinton campaign calls “Dick Cheney's energy bill” that Senator Obama was for, Senator Clinton was against. You obviously weren't in the Senate at that point. But what's your view on those two issues?

Sen. Bob Casey: I think when it comes to making a determination about who should be in charge of a sector of our military operations, you make that assessment based upon a lot of factors. I don't think there's, you know, a Democratic way to vote when you make that decision. I don't think there's a liberal or conservative way to vote. You make a determination about the person's character, their ability, their experience. And you can have two liberal Democrats come to different conclusions.

I think on the energy bill, I'll just tell you, when I was campaigning, I was very troubled by, in particular, the giveaways to energy interests. And so, I mean, you could probably vote for that bill and still be troubled by those tax provisions. But I think we still have to do a lot of work to make up for some of those giveaways in that bill.

I mean, I'm speaking from my own point of view. You'd have to ask Senator Obama directly about what he thought about the bill. But I think there are a lot of people that were frustrated, not just with that energy bill in '05, but even in 2007 when Democrats were trying to do a lot more with tax incentives to put us on a path to reducing our dependence on foreign oil, to really incentivizing alternative energy sources. And Republicans blocked it.

CBSNews.com: The Colombia trade deal sparked a lot of controversy and led, in part, to the demotion of Hillary Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn. What, in your view, is wrong with the Colombia trade deal?

Sen. Bob Casey: I think there are two overarching problems with it. And this is from my point of view. Number one is, it doesn't do near enough to provide the kind of protections and level the playing field provisions that I think are essential: worker protections, human rights, the environment, all of the things that you've heard over and over again that are deficiencies in our trade agreements.

But the other problem with Colombia--and in my judgment, Peru, and a lot of Democrats voted for that agreement and I didn't--is that they have not been compared to, or measured against, a trade policy. We don't have a trade policy in the United States of America.

We haven't had one, recent memory. And until we have a policy in place, we're just going to have these continuing fights within the Democratic party and between Democrats and Republicans, about individual deals. We have big fights. One side wins, one side loses. Then we wait for the next deal to come down the pike where we vote. We need a policy. And I think Senator Obama is someone who not only understands that, but I think would show the kind of leadership that we need.

CBSNews.com: What do you think distinguishes the styles of leadership of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama?

Sen. Bob Casey: I can just tell you what I think of Senator Obama. I've been around politics for a quarter century. I've been an elected official for 11 years now. I've rarely, if ever, seen someone who's able to connect with people like he can, and connect meaning communicate with voters directly, whether it's been a rope line, or a diner or in a town meeting--and also connect with and communicate with public officials, people with big egos, people that have agendas, people that are hot-tempered.

And he's able to connect with them in a very human way and in a way that I think that is extraordinarily important for leadership. Because I think often in these campaigns, we think of these candidates as composites of issue positions and policy papers. They're human beings.

Just think about what the next president's going to be confronting, just staggering problems that few presidents in American history are confronting: climate change, a war, a divided world, a divided country, recession, a colossal problem with regard to our health care system and 47 million people uninsured, a $10 trillion debt.

And the old way or the usual way, the Democratic way, is just not going to do it. And I think he's already demonstrated a new kind of leadership and a new kind of politics that we're going to need to confront those problems.

CBSNews.com: Your former rival for the governorship, Ed Rendell, argues that the most important thing is electing a Democratic president, and Senator Clinton is demonstrably more electable in the key battleground states of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida based on a number of polls that he cites. What's your response to that?

Sen. Bob Casey: Well, Governor Rendell is not only a friend of mine, but we supported each other even though we had a tough battle in 2002. And he won that race by a big margin. (LAUGHTER) I remember it well. It was kind of an interesting result. He won by 12 percentage points. But I carried 57 counties, he carried ten. So, it's a good lesson that you can get a lot out of a small number of counties.

I think he's been a great governor. I think we have a fundamental disagreement, not just on the issue of the person you support in the primary, but we have a fundamental disagreement about the general election.

I'm not an expert on general elections nationally. But I think I'm a bit of an expert on general elections in Pennsylvania. I've won four, and I've won two out of three primaries. And I do think that if you can win the general election in Pennsylvania, you can be the president.

I think Senator Obama can run a very strong and effective general election and a winning campaign against Senator McCain. I think Senator Clinton could, as well. Let me just give you a thumbnail sketch of a general election. He would do extraordinarily well in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia suburbs. He'll do well in Northeastern Pennsylvania where I live and I've worked for years. He'll do at least as well as Democrats have done in the past in Central Pennsylvania which is a vast area which is predominantly Republican. I think he can cut into that or at least get the usual Democratic vote.

I think he'll do very well in the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, which is most of Western Pennsylvania. So, I don't see where a Republican comes up with the formula to beat him.

If our nominee wins Pennsylvania, they're going to be the president, in my judgment. So, I have a lot of confidence in him, just as I have confidence in Senator Clinton. These are two transcendent figures. In other words, the usual rules don't apply to them. The usual rule of an African-American candidate doesn't apply in terms of their ability to attract general election support, and the usual formula that would normally apply to Senator Clinton as the first woman to be a nominee if she is, doesn’t apply. They have the ability to go above and transcend the usual rules.

And I think they're both very strong general election candidates. I do think that Senator Obama has more potential to win a mandate and to win more convincingly. But even more important than that, I think he has the ability and has already demonstrated the capacity to be a very strong and effective and bipartisan president.

CBS FORUMS SCOOPS STORY FROM MEDIA

General electric stocks fell 11% early this morning, and here''s why.

G.E. owns NBC, MSNBC as well as several other media outlets.

G.E. is heavily invested in Excelon who is building or about to build dozens of Nuclear Power
Plants in this country.

Excelon has been one of Obama''s largest contributors since the beginning of Obama''s political career.

Yesterday, the NAACP, the largest and oldest Black organization in America, announced the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was to be their keynote speaker at the their largesst fundraiser of the year.

This endorsement of Wright will be percieved as the nationwide Black acceptance of Wrights radical anti-White America thinking

Obama is a 20 year member and large contributor of Wright''s Church and has even referred to Wright as his Uncle.

The chance of Obama winning the nomination now is almost impossible.

Implementing Nuclear Power Plants throughout America is very unlikly.

Excelon loses Billions.

Gfeneral Electric has already lost Billions.

Obama''s campaign is all but over.

[mrmazerati]

Gosh, somebody better warn Obama his campaign is over!

[jack3213]

BOTH DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGNS ARE A SERIOUS JOKE. ISN''T ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THEM EMBARRESSED YET? YOU SHOULD BE.

[webama]

Obama campaign still goes and goes on, till he got the nomination. The more Hillary supporters get frustrated the more Obama get higher.

[popstom1]

I have 4 more days be for i start fishing for flathead but until then F-Obama

[taddles-2009]

"There is no way a white man with the same background and credentials as Obama could ever be elected to any significant office.

Posted by olandug at 11:56 AM : Apr 11, 2008"


If Obama were as crooked as you would like to claim he would be in prison, not running for the highest office ion the land. But since your information is obviously false and skewed and your quotes are taken out of context and your innuendos are specious at best I guess it ''s of no real concern. These childish arguments trying to paint Barak as an anti-American racist by attacking his associations have been flown before by better than you and they have gone exactly nowhere.

Do you have anything at all to attack him with that isn''t innuendo or taken out of context or just a flat out fabrication? Anything?....I didn''t think so.

[taddles-2009]

Now that paints a funny picture, a pinhead fishing for flathead.

[truth-hurts]

taddles, I suppose you''re one of the STUPID WHITE PEOPLE who will scream the loudest when YOUR house goes up in flames.

1960''s Black slogan = Burn Baby Burn

By the way, another Hillary HQ was torched last night.

[rowdytexan2]

lol, When the best polls still give HIllary an 18 point lead in Penna. Boy they''re getting desperate to make such claims.

[gretagreen]

In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F. Kennedy''s challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines.

In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. (They provide medical assistance to the Marines as well as to Navy personnel.)

The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy''s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief''s medical team, and helped care for President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery.

For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House awarded him three letters of commendation.

What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated.

[truth-hurts]

ccfsdca or whatever, You got something against "oldsters"? PUNK!!!

[gretagreen]

While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice President *** Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/ sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father.

Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections.

Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system? Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice something or those who merely talk about their love of the country?

After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished his final year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of America''s biggest cities.

This man is Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the retiring pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

[truth-hurts]

GRETAGREEN, ...GOD DAAAAAAAM AMERICA.... And grets, don''t post that garbage right after lunchtime anymore!!!

[truth-hurts]

The NAACP, the oldest and largest Black organization in the country, has decided to embrace the racist teachings of Rev. Wright by having him as their keynote speaker at their largest fundraiser of the year.

BURN BABY BURN

[gretagreen]

I copied those last two comments from another poster, because he wrote so well, but I know the facts to be true. I just want to say that I do not think anyone should say anything bad about Reverend Wright if all you know about him is what you saw on the MSM "crazy clip." It was all spliced together and it did not fairly represent him at all. He is a very good man who has helped a lot of people in his life.

[obamasgranny]

Overheard at the latest Obama rally:

Kool-Aid!! Get your Kool-Aid here!! Kool-Aid!! Ice cold Kool-Aaaiid!!

[obamasgranny]

He is a very good man who has helped a lot of people in his life.

So has Don Imus,..He did lots and lots of charity work in his life,...probably more than Pastor Wrong!!

Obama on Imus:
"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News in a story dated April 11, 2007, "but I would also say that there''s nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Hypocrisy in action!!

[gretagreen]

Truth-Hurts. You sound like a racist to me. Reverend Wright is not perfect and he has said some rather racist and odd things, but he is not evil and he is not a racist and he is not unkind. He is a very good, but flawed, person whois no running for office or asking us for anything. If you want to bash Obama, go ahead, but it is not fair to demonize Reverend Wright.

Too bad he was teaching his congreation to hate America, instead of loving and embracing it, and to pick up their freedom and help make a better place!

While Rev. Wright lives in luxury, just down the street his people are living in slums, and Obama wrote letters of testament for the slumlord in his district to shill government money and suck off section 8 housing!

Loving America means helping America, not speaking out against it, and assisting corrupt people to get taxpayer dollars to pay for their investments.

[truth-hurts]

The NAACP has decided to embrace the anti-White American teachings of Uncle Jeremiah at the end of the month IN DETROIT of all places. The BLACKS burned down half of Detroit in 1967, this year they''re going to try to burn down the other half.

BLACK slogan of 1967;

BURN BABY BURN!!

[truth-hurts]

GRETA, I don''t have to demonize Rev. Wright,

Rev. Jeremiah Wright Demonized Himself!!!

[gretagreen]

Obama was NEVER affiliated in any way with Farrakhan. If you people want to be racists, fine. (And, obviously most of you Wright-Bashers are very racist indeed.) If you do not want to vote for Obama, fine. But why post LIES? Why bother?

I totally agree with the poster who says Dems need to stick together. McCain would be a disaster. I support Obama but will vote for hillary should she get the nomination (as will every other Dem with a brain). I think some people just say they won''t vote for the Dem they don''t support to try to influence the Super-delegates. (What true Dem could EVER vote for McCain?)

[blackspirit3]

WHEN YOU JUDGE A MAN ONLY ON HIS WORDS AND HIS DEEDS, YOU HAVE TO LOVE OBAMA COMPARED TO HILLARY - HER WHOLE HISTORY IS AN HISTORY OS LIES, DECEIT, MURDER, RAPE, ECT.

[heleny2]

I''m amazed people are still rallying against the incendiary statements made by Reverend Wright. Have these people seen or read Obama''s response, or are they just reacting to the media''s spin on the story?

PEOPLE: Get the facts! Viewing the world through a black and white lens (no pun intended) is so unevolved. Look up "Liberation Theology". It''s not merely about the angry black man.

People who are no longer willing to vote for Obama or who demand he denouce his pastor remind me of the mob that demanded PONTIOUS PILOT condemn JESUS to the Cross. A self righteous mob that demands blood.

[blackspirit3]

IN 1992 THE CLINTONS WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO FIX THINGS

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court

IN 2008 LETS SEND THEM BACK TO FINISH THEIR JOB

[popstom1]

I see Obamanation is slideing in points in Pa.
and when the blackspit opens there mouth
down he go''s keep up the good work

[popstom1]

blackspit if every thing you say is cough true
the please why is bill not in jail I want too hear
this

[phillysage]

If as an even less experienced Senator Casey, than the 3-year baby Senator Obama, says that Obama has leadership--tell me what exactly has he done. How has he ever led his state or nation in away that really changed a *** thing? It seems he''s good at leading a manipulative and clever political campaign. It seems he''s good at leading naive hordes to contribute money to his arrogant obsession to grab power. But please tell me one good thing he''s done that''s changed anyone''s life for the better. You can''t
Stop the Obamanable.
Vote Hillary Clinton. Do Not put America at Risk.

[rowdytexan2]

Obama tried to fix California delegate nominations for the convention and purged 900 names off the list! Then got his arse beat up by it and had to reverse himself!

This shill has absolutely no judgment whatsoever! Why isn''t CBS reporting this?

[gretagreen]

Rowdy Texan - you don''t get anything right. I do not even believe you are truly a Hillary supporter (because you make her look so bad by being so ignorant and unkind.)
Obama had so many people sign up to be delegates for him from California that he had to cut some or voting would be chaotic. (I am voting for my California delegate this weekend.) My district has so many well-qualified, well-deserving people that should go, it will be hard to choose. They all deserve to go! The Obama movement in California has grown so much since Cal voted in the priamry, it''s amazing. It''s not anti-Hillary; it''s just support for Obama. Because of him, we signed up tons of new Dem voters that, hopefully, will remain with the party for years to come!

Obama on small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia
Drudge Report

Mayhill Fowler has more from Obama''''s remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, and they include an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that won''''t be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama''''s seeking:


You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing''''s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it''''s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren''''t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
That''''s a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss.

I am a 30 year old family man with 2 children.
I can understand the college kids voting for Obama because there college kids. But when you see this seasoned adults wanting to vote for Obama even after knowing about his Hamas connections, his Pastor, Ayers, RezKo , his radical muslim cousin, Farakahn, Black Panther Endorsement and 90% of Blacks voting for Obama because of his skin color. I can not for the life of me figure why he has so much support. Can anyone give me any reason why they would even consider Obama. Is it because he is good looking and young and talks about change. He has only had 2 years in National Politics. Unbeleivable.

You misinterpreted or maybe you''re a Hillary supporter.
Look, no one is STUPID enough to vote for Hillary so she can force us to buy into her medicare plan with our wages garnished. She''s a liar, untrustworthy, has a temper tantrum or is bipolar, scandal galore snake who would sell out this country in a sec. Her goal is to be the 1st woman President and make history for herself and Bill.(1st President to be 1st lady)

[ediewrites]

Obama is no different than Washington insiders he has been caught in lies. He lied to the Canadian pastor about NAFTA after he used the issue to abuse Hillary, He said don''t worry I didn''t mean it I just said that because of the election. He stayed in a Church that doesn''t preach about Christ like any other church but uses the podium to bash whites and put out activist philosophy and raise money, the church bought the pastor a million dollar home. He ran around with Rezo and lied about his involvement he later admitted it to Chicago Sun. He is Afro centrist and will send hundreds of billions to Africa and bring tens of thousand of Africans here for citizenship. They want to make whites the minority. He is WEAK on defense saying he would get rid of our nuclear warheads which are a deterrent and he said he would repeal any bill for a border fence. He has no respect for human life. He voted to throw a newborn that was full term and alive into the placenta and blood leaving it to die. Worry. You had better worry.

WRIGHTS CHURCH CHANGED WEBSITE, IT WAS SCARY BEFORE


This was airbrushed off Jeremiah Wright%u2019s church%u2019s web site:

Before it was completely erased there was a warning there to blacks that whites are %u201Ccaptors%u201D and blacks %u201Ccaptives.%u201D

One reason whites seek to capture helpless black captives is to kill them. Kill them? Yes, that%u2019s what the site states: white %u201Ccaptors%u201D plot to kill black %u201Ccaptives.%u201D

Here is what used to be on the site:

%u201CClassic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must keep the captive ignorant educationally, but trained sufficiently well to serve the system.

%u201CAlso, the captors must be able to identify the %u2018talented tenth%u2019 of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor%u2019s control.

%u201CThose so identified as [sic] separated from the rest of the people by:

%u201CKilling them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.%u201D

So-called %u201Cblack liberation theology%u201D is running throughout a lot of America%u2019s black church. It is evil. It is racism%u2014powerfully so.

[obama8years]

THis is a quote I found, it seems a littel extreme but what we have found out about Wright. I tend to beleive it.

So-called %u201Cblack liberation theology%u201D is running throughout a lot of America%u2019s black church. This is of the devil. It is evil. It is racism%u2014powerfully so.

And so this is what the gospel of Christ is all about? Not.

This diabolical teaching says that Christ is black and is here for the poor only. The whites then must be attacked for Christ will enable them.

In other words, blacks plan war in the US%u2014against whites. Yet Wright and company cry racism on the part of whites. That too is diabolical.

Black commentators on TV news programs Tuesday revealed to the white commentators that this undercurrent is definitely in the black church today. Such is so very sad when America is fighting off Muslim take-over.

The devil moves into the so-called %u201Cmain-line church%u201D with homosexuality condoned.

Now the devil moves into black churches with this paranoia against whites. It is a sad time to live as a biblical Christian.

Imagine the blacks under the guise of supposedly respected rubric called %u201Cblack liberation theology%u201D saying whites throughout the nation are plotting killing blacks.

Again, it is nothing but the devil setting up house within the black souls.

Although Obama can win Pennsylvania in November, Hillary is "more likely" to win it.

[sjbj2322]

Yea Obama''s able to connect with the people to their faces....then goes behind their backs and insults them while having the audacity to ask for their vote. Somehow I have a feeling that the term "audacity" is going to haunt him for the remainder of his years.

[philly1550]

Hillary will win Pennsylvania big.

And Florida and Michigan votes will be counted...and Hillary will win the popular vote when all the states complete voting in June.

Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina ALSO broke the rules by moving up their date from those indicated in the rules shown below.

However Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina were NOT penalized and did NOT have their votes not counted.

Only Florida and Michigan''s votes were not counted. Why?...because they are Hillary states.

Below are the rules that were broken by Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina....but they were NOT penalized.

Florida and Michigan''s 2 million votes need to count also.

This is America...every vote needs to count!

"that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February; and that the South Carolina primary may be held

However Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina were NOT penalized and did NOT have their votes not counted.

Only Florida and Michigan''s votes were not counted. Why?...because they are Hillary states.

Below are the rules that were broken by Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina....but they were NOT penalized.

Florida and Michigan''s 2 million votes need to count also.

This is America...every vote needs to count!

"that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February; and that the South Carolina primary may be held
no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February."

I believe the "Hildabeast" was up to about 17 percent in Penn with just over a week ago...

Presently polls show she is only leading by 8-10 percent maximum...

If she wins by less than 10 percent, Dean will tell her to throw in the towel...

Looks like the 110 million dollar Rocky image is receding. 110 Million Dollar dynasty and they can''t even pay the caterers... What a joke.

I bet they can pay the Columbian and Canadian governments some of our tax dollars and contributions.

PS. McSmurf is going to need Lieberman for his
Ventriloquist show. Can you see a small Lieberman head popping up every time Johnny says ''Beetle Juice''

Beetle Juice....no please, Beetle J...u..i..c.
Another 100 years in the middle east and America''s

a lame duck third world country.

I think Senator Casey may have spoke a little too soon. Yeh right, Obama can win in November...not Maybe Senator Casey can go to all the "bitter and angry" people of PA and convince them to vote for Obama.

Get real Senator Casey, Obama has no hope.

MADE ABOUT RURAL AMERICA, WHE WORKING

CLASS, SMALL TOWNS, GUNS AND RELIGIONS!!

Obama has only won in red states that will not carry a democratic candidate in November. Don''t let this guy shill you!

If you want to continue a republican administartion in November, the best way is to nominate Obama.

Core democrats and cross over republicans will NEVER be sucked in by this scammer!

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows John McCain with an advantage over Barack Obama, 47% to 43%. In a match-up with Hillary Clinton, the results are the same--McCain 47% Clinton 43%

After the PA primary, I predict Mccain is going to have a double digit lead over Obama. The more that Obama is out there speaking with his own words and not scripted speeches, the more it will uncover the brainwashing of Rev Wrights Church. It is pathetic that Obama choose this direction, he could of truly been someone very special.

The idea that Barack Obama is some type of new Democrat is absurd.He is a very liberal politician, who does not support the right to life.Senator Obama presents himself as a man of the people, but he is not for the people of Florida or Michigan having their votes counted for the Democratic nomination.Senator Casey is a good man who believes in the right to life.If he wants to help elect a pro-life candidate for President, he should support Senator McCain.
