Obama: Wyoming v. Idaho and Washington

Posted by Adam Graham in : Uncategorized

Obama recovered from setbacks in Rhode Island, Ohio, and the Texas Primaries with a win in the Wyoming Caucus (Fabian Story would owe me money if we’d bet on this one.) The margin is worth noting. With 91% reporting, Obama is winning 58-41%. It’s a healthy margin until you compare with  Idaho (78%) and Washington (68%). This suggests to me that Obama is slipping a little. This may also be that Hillary Clinton is focusing on the race rather than ceding earlier small state caucuses. The good news for Obama is that he should win Mississippi on Tuesday and then has 6 weeks to make up an 11-point deficit in Pennsylvania and perhaps he’ll figure out how to sound like a political leaders rather than a bizarre Secular messiah.

    Is he really so flaky in your eyes? I don’t get it. A guy starts talking about the possibility of fixing the country and some folks wonder why he’s not just bemoaning the world’s fate with the rest of the “intelligent and rational” folks.

    Hillary Clinton has had to attack optimism and enthusiasm just to keep Barack Obama from running away with it. This is the part of the campaign and its rhetoric I can’t believe people are falling for. Didn’t Reagan give a positive message when things looked bleak? I disagreed with his policies but I can certainly see that people were tired of hearing the same old message of “I can’t” while he had some other message to offer.

    The name Rational Psychic says a lot. My problem with Obama first and foremoest is that he talks like a crazy cult leader and not the President. Obama exalts himself, Reagan exalted the American people and the country. That’s the key difference.
