A Vote for Hillary in PA Tomorrow is a Vote for McCain

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 06:02:28 AM PDT

There's a reason why John McCain went after Obama on Bill Ayers yesterday.

He wants to blunt any last minute Obama surge in Pennsylvania to keep Hillary in the race as long as possible. He knows that as soon as Hillary bows out of the race, Obama's considerable resources, organization and rhetorical gifts will pivot around like the guns of a battle ship onto McCain -- anbd start blasting away.

From Wednesday forward, no matter what happens in Pennsylvania, Barack Obama should ignore Hillary Clinton and start running as the Democratic nominee for President.

Pretend Hillary is, for all intents and purposes, Mike Gravel.

Ahe is now virtually broke. She has no more money to keep going on. Pennsylvania was her last stand, and she has to win by 15 points for anyone to take notice.

Obama will probably get about 45% of the vote and will lose to her by 8-9 points, I'm guessing.

But that's fine.

Obama shouls just dust Pennsylavnia off his shoulders and start running against John MCcain. Let Hillary whale and attack all she wants.

Just ignore her.

She'll go away eventually.
