1. you should only go if you live there or going to be voting in another state for ST.

[Barack_America]

2. ???

This e-mail was sent to me from the campaign and they know that I live in Philly. So, it doesn't seem like being a ST voter is an absolute requirement.

[DUyellow]

25. more space for people who do not know much about him and who are going to vote on that ST day.

[Adelante]

3. Why is that? nt

[Adelante]

4. It would be neat if Joe Biden went

Even if he's staying neutral. :)

[Barack_America]

6. Absolutely. The Obamas are showing Delaware some love...

First Michelle and now the man himself?

That's some big respect for one of our smaller states!

9. I'm sure it's about respect.....

yeah, that's the ticket...2 months ago, no one gave a shit about DE, when Joe was in the race.

[Barack_America]

11. Delaware wasn't on the brink of voting 2 months ago.

Now they are. There are lots of states getting some extra love right now.

Out of curiosity, has Hillary been to Delaware, or does she plan to?

[1corona4u]

14. Maybe Obama sees those 23? delegates as critical...

and knows he's going to need everyone he gets? There are a lot of people on this board from DE. Maybe you should ask them.

[Thrill]

5. With Joe Biden

[Barack_America]

7. Can you confirm this?

This is sounding more like an endorsement.

And more like I'll have to make the trip, lol.

[Renew Deal]

15. Is that true?

[NJSecularist]

8. Not to demean the citizens of Deleware....but is Delaware really that important?

Especially considering all the other states at stake in Super Tuesday. There are only 23 delegates available, Del. means nothing... he should spend that time in Missouri and Minnesota, where many more delegates are at stake.

[Barack_America]

10. Unless he's there to pick up Biden's endorsement...

I've been checking Obama's Delaware schedule often. To my knowledge, this has just been VERY recently scheduled.

Makes ya wonder, eh?

[1corona4u]

12. I think you are fantasizing....

Joe has made it pretty clear so far, that he's not interested in endorsing either of them.

[NJSecularist]

13. Biden's endorsement doesn't mean much beyond Delaware...

and Delaware is a relatively unimportant state in this process.

Not to demean Biden, but I just don't think Biden's endorsement will give Obama anything.

32. Biden's endorsement helps ease folk's concern about Obama being "ready"

Just like Kennedy's helped. Biden is identified closely with foreign policy. His endorsement would help Obama substantially, relative to endorsements. I don't think endorsements matter much except for the titans like Kennedy, Gore, and now Edwards.

16. Typical New Jerseyian snobbery

:evilgrin:

[NJSecularist]

17. Hey... my state is pretty worthless too...

just not on Super Tuesday. :D

[jackson_dem]

20. Obama is running a small state strategy

Plus he is going to Wilmington, not Dover. Wilmington is in the Philadelphia media market which means, NJSecularist ;) , it will give him publicity in southern New Jersey as well.

[NJSecularist]

21. Thanks for the info

Perhaps this strategy will work. I'd like for him to make a trip to Minnesota, though.

[jackson_dem]

22. Hasn't he?

If not he should. He is competitive there.

[NJSecularist]

23. I have not heard any reports of him going there.

[Barack_America]

26. Minneapolis, MN is on Obama's schedule for tomorrow.

Ask and ye shall receive, I guess. ;)

[IDemo]

27. Speaking in Boise,Idaho tomorrow morning

Doors open at 7:00am, ice covered roads,, those are going to have to be some die-hard Obamites.

[loveangelc]

18. he needs to speak in CT.

[Barack_America]

19. MSNBC just reported that Obama will be in CT on MONDAY.

So there! ;)

I can't wait for Super Tuesday to be over, because Obama will probably visit Philly a BUNCH of times!

[loveangelc]

31. Yay! His poll numbers will go up even more then : )

I really wish he would speak somewhere close to me. That would make my life.lol

[jackson_dem]

24. I'll be there

[Barack_America]

28. I'll be there too.

I hope. I really need to work on getting those ballot petition signatures though.

Was hoping to get a lot done today, but it's pouring outside. :(

[BklynChick]

29. how far is it from NYC?

[Barack_America]

30. It's about 20-25 min. by car from Philly...

30-40 min. from Philly by train.

So I'd say it's about 2 or 2.5 hrs from New York, depending on how you drive, lol.

It's also easy to reach by train though.

However, Obama is speaking in CT on Monday too, as an FYI.

[jackson_dem]

33. Yup. CT would be your best bet BKLYN

[Tom Strong]

34. OMG, and the Jonas Brothers are going to be playing there on Monday! *squeal* lol n/t
