He’s been busy fighting a general election and not worrying about Hillary. It was such a relief to not have to hear about Hillary or hear from any of her surrogates on the TV.

~leney who is ready for Obama to come to South Florida already.

Obama knows exactly what he’s doing; knows where to be.

Why waste resources right now in a state he won’t win in the primary or the general election?

The popular vote means nothing, despite the MSM peddling her campaign’s talking points.

She made need a convetion floor battle just to get the 2nd spot on the ticket.

Harold Ickes will push that, but they will fail.

You asked about Al Gore. Here’s my prediction:

Al will endorse Barack in Florida on or shortly after May 21.

If one doesn’t see the symbolism in that, one doesn’t see.

Know hope.

After the stunt Huckabee pulled I wouldn’t go anywhere that is openly known for racism.

Oh, and at her campaign’s urging Chris Matthews mentioned that she had an editorial piece in some magazine.

It’s over!

I’m sure his campaign strategists have it all planned.

I’m for Obama all the way. . . but this seems like a really dumb political move.

It makes him look small.

Yes. . . Fox News sucks and those emails are bs. But neither Fox News nor those emails are particular to the state of Kentucky. Fox News broadcasts all over the world . . . and those emails go far beyond the state lines of Kentucky.

He’s making excuses.

I don’t care if he looses by 50%, he should still show his face to let the voters know that:

1. He fully expects to be the Democratic nominee; and
2. He’s dedicated to broadening his coalition (and fighting those smears) with them in the future.

That’s all he has to do. He did it in PA. Why not in Kentucky?

Zero appearances in Kentucky for Obama (although Michelle is supposed to be there on Monday). Yet, Hillary’s got FIVE appearances planned between now and Tuesday. That doesn’t even include all the campaign stops Bill plans to do over the next few days.

Obama should face the problem head on. But this makes it look like he’s ducking for cover.

And you KNOW Hillary’s team is ready to pounce on any sign of weakness they can find.

Speaking of Kentucky. . .

WHY is Obama NOT in Kentucky????

He’s just begging Hillary to run the score up on him in the popular vote.

It’s not likely, but there’s still a slim chance that she can catch him in the popular vote.

What’s he gonna do if Hillary catches him and decides to run a media campaign screaming “one man, one vote.”

She could try to paint herself as Al Gore and draw comparisons to the 2000 Election (trust, I know that this would be a disingenuous argument, but it might work with low-information voters).

She’d probably still lose the nomination if she tries this. But her media spin could go a long way to deligitimize Obama’s nomination.

I’m sorry, but Obama seems a little TOO calm right now. This is no time for him to let his guard down.

Does he know something we don’t? Because I wouldn’t put all my faith in the super delegates to do the right thing. Obama should be closing all doors and cutting off any paths/arguments Hillary might try to make for the nomination.
