Seal the Deal, Obama... in South Dakota!

Can't seal the deal? That's the line the Clinton camp wants to ingrain in our consciousness about Obama. But she's no comeback-again kid; she's a barely-hang-on, scare-'em-with-Osama warhorse. In state after state, Clinton starts with a big lead, then sees it shrink when she shows up and starts campaigning (Clinton, please, come to South Dakota!). For more evidence of this phenomenon, see the charts at Real Clear Politics for the polls in South Carolina, California, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania... hmm... I thought campaigning was supposed to win you more voters (but what do I know about successful campaigning?).

But enough spin: Obama lost Pennsylvania. He didn't seal the deal. He and Clinton have to keep working hard... and that's o.k. with me. Every day Clinton and Obama campaign is another day that more people can compare the two and decide who offers the best chance for change. And it just means Obama (and all of his supporters!) need to keep hustling for every vote they can get... and come to South Dakota to seal the deal!

  1. If Obama comes to South Dakota and McCain does not, Obama may have a deal sealed in this voter's mind.
