Reply #122: Two points

1. by how many points was he behind at the beginning of these two weeks? I do not remember the exact numbers, but I am almost certain the polls showed a difference of more than 20%. Same as the argument that was made, for instance, about BO losing MA inspite of Kennedy's and Kerry's endorsements. The endorsements did not matter! They were worthless! Again, without remembering the exact numbers, the difference was at least halved. The Obama campaign strategy was clearly from the start a "50 states" strategy (and a very well implemented one), going after the delegates. Losing by 10% in OH vs, losing by more than 20% makes a hell of a lot of difference. And by the way, 10% is not great, but is not being "demolished". That's what happened in RI, unfortunately.
2.while typing the above, I completely forgot what my 2nd point was, sorry :-)
