    Don't blame San Fransico

    I take some exception with your Clinton statement made in SF to support Bob Casey in Pa and then Casey supported Obama. Perhaps you aren't aware that Obama endorsed and campaigned with Casey in Pa the year he was running against Santorium. I am a liberal Democrat in NY but I held my nose and gave a contribution to Casey, albeit a small one due to my circumstances because I knew what a horror Santorium was and he was maybe on a Republican glidepath to the Presidency. Also, you seem to overlook the fact that over one million individuals contributing less than $200 gave money to Obama. I agree with you on one thing, San Francisco shouldn't take the hit when so many other people in states, cities and towns have supported Obama with their money and votes.
