Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    It will Help Everyone if Obama does Convincingly

    So let them vote. The voters will decide whether Obama's or Clinton's campaign strategy is better, and so far they've been going out of their way to keep things more-or-less even.

    I'm an Obama supporter but I'm not so naive as to think everyone will just jump on board before November if the superdelegates hand him the nomination on a technicality. What's more important than either candidate winning is that whoever wins does so convincingly and by the book. That's why I supported a revote in Florida and Michigan.

    I hope voters attend these rallies and listen critically to both candidates rather than blindly following one or the other (I mean that for Obama too-I think "obamamania" sells him short.) In the end though, as Krugman's last 2 columns so elloquently pointed out, what's most important is that SOME Democrat wins this fall, so we can restore some credibility to our country and some balance to our financial markets.
