    Obama

    Re: "The people at the convention were mean to her and did run up to her to embrace her when she's wearing her Hillary button. Obama, she said, has to "earn" her vote."

    That woman clearly feels marginalized. I think it would help if Obama on Thurdsay makes a direct appeal to the 18 million people who voted for Hillary by saying something like "We share the same values, you are part of this movement, and we need your energy and your committment so that we can all move forward together." Surrogates can only do so much. He has to close the deal.
