Droppin’ the Ball
February 20, 2008
Congratulations to Barack Obama and his team on winning Wisconsin and Hawai’i.
In other news:
An article was cirrculated that Hillary Clinton has failed to file the full list of PA Delegates. I know that here in Western Pennsylvania we were running around collecting signatures for all of our delegates and being sure to get Barack Obama on the ballot for all the Congressional Districts.
The author of the reference article points out, that not only is this not good for their strategy to take as many delegates as possible, it seems to contradict Hillary’s claim to have extensive political experience and to be “ready to lead on day 1″.
However, what no one seemed to mention, is if the delegates left out were strategic in the fact they knew they did not have time to get signatures for everyone, so the eliminated those endorsing Obama. No matter, she still should have covered all her bases, and perhaps they underestimated the importance of Pennsylvania as a primary state.
She is really backing herself into a corner with Texas and Ohio.
My German friend has asked me to write a political blog on Obama and the Presidential campaign for those on his side of the pond, and in turn he’ll be sharing his enthusiasm and hopes for the next American President, so that will be in the coming weeks.
Cheers & Dears
