Reply #35: She can depend all she wants, I doubt she will get it.

I work for a major Philadelphia company with locations in center city and in the burbs (sorry it has to stay a secret or I will get in trouble). Early in primary season my dem co-workers and I all split into different factions. I started out as an Edwards supporter but over time as the group narrowed to Obama and Hillary the majority became Obama supporters including me. My independent and republicans friends (you must have them too, being in Texas and all) who have been disgusted by Bush and were never Clinton fans began switching to Dem so they could vote for Obama in this primary. From this small sample of "random people hazel_rah knows", I say Philly burbs is going Obama.

Little sister attending Temple down in North Philadelphia says her friends are going Obama. Hanging out in West Philadelphia this week the students of Penn campus seem to be trending Obama and the amazing turn out for Obama at Independence Hall last night tells me that Philadelphia in general is going Obama.

Everyone in the "know" who I talk to says Obama will likely lose PA as Hillary was up by 20 just 3 weeks ago. That may be true but I will be surprised if she wins by 10+ and I think it is much more likely that either Obama will pull it off with a win (very small win) or she will win by 5 to 8.

It may be wishful thinking on my part, but it would be wonderful if PA went Obama and we could start "not counting" just like the Texas caucus. ;)

Don't worry about Bush returning to Texas, once the War Crime trials start I'm sure he'll flee to Argentina or possibly Brazil. Wouldn't it be funny that by consistently pissing off the world when the time comes for him to hide no country will take him in. Funny in a sad, "what have we all come to" kind of way.
