Reply #48: So why aren't you making the big bucks? Look, Obama has run a brilliant campaign, he's got

[John Q. Citizen]

very capable people working for him, people who have run and won a lot of campaigns.

Why do you suppose if you see that, that they don't? And why do you suppose they make the choices they do?

It's easy to be an armchair quarterback; no responsibility, no real insight into why the campaign makes the choices they do.

There could be a number of very good reasons that the campaign doesn't read DU and take your advice. Yet you express it as if, if they don't take your advice they are somehow blowing it.

I have zero problem with you posting your opinion, yet I wish you would post it as your opinion instead of like "If the Obama campaign doesn't do x y z they are idiots, etc."

Right now, I don't see any way that Obama isn't going to win a majority of the pledged delegates on May 20th. That will make him the winner of the primaries. If he goes negative against Clinton, do you think that could change things?

Going negative against Clinton might be a very bad idea. Maybe it's a great idea. Yet I trust his campaign to decide what they need to do, and it won't bother me a whit if he doesn't go negative against Clinton just as long as he wins a majority of the pledged delegates. Winning the nomination is more important to me than is letting Hillary have it with both barrels
