HILLARY INVITES OBAMA TO MAINE TOWN HALL MTG BUT HE'S WASHING HIS HAIR.
Let's see if Obama can find a good excuse to not "find time to spend with the voters."

25. You can be sure if Obama shows up it'll be televised. That's what the Clinton
campaign is counting on. (The picture is from Time Magazine. Ask them.)

24. With not a lot of money, she's gotta get the press where she can.
These little cries for help are not going to do her any favors. If I were a republican, I'd be licking my chops right now.

15. He's busy meeting voters the Clinton's have neglected for years, while she appears

before high school students! The Dem nominees appeared there in '84 and '88 but not '92 and '96, for some reason. Article:

-snip-

Barak Obama is coming to woo supporters to the Nebraska Democratic Party's first-ever caucus on Saturday. His visit marks the first time in long time that a major Democratic presidential candidates actually came and asked Nebraskans for support in their nomination quest.

20. Don't tell us....CAUCUS state????????
All those military on active duty...all those shift workers, public safety workers, cabbies, cashiers, people in hospital, old folks in the nursing home....DAMN!!! Fucked AGAIN!!! YOUR vote doesn't COUNT!!!

Not in a CAUCUS state!!!

Obama always does well in "caucus" states. He has organizers that make sure of that.

But it has nothing to do with actual popularity. It's a disenfranchising exercise that favors activists.

And there isn't a single "caucus" opportunity in the general election....

28. "It's a disenfranchising exercise that favors activists."
And he's apparently got quite a large, mobile ground crew that swoops in to these caucus states and starts working the state activists long before the balloting starts.

4. wait, was this an invitation or a command?
Seems to me, when I invite someone, I don't expect that they will drop everything and be at my beck and call-

but maybe I'm not like you- I can't say not like Hillary, because it is you that is putting words in both their mouths-

peace~

5. seems to me he's spending LOTS of time with voters.
Hillary is free to have as many meetups as she can as well. He certainly doesn't need to be at Hillarys beck and call.

Silly OP

Sounds quite desperate on her part.

7. if Hillary wanted him to come, she would have invited him in Private
Doing this Publically is nothing more than a media stunt.
It draws attention to her and gives her a chance to call him a coward if he declines.

Fuck You Hillary! You are not in charge here. The World doesn't move on your schedule.

18. Pissed off that your guy didn't think of it?
This is what we have been talking about for months - Hillary is going to find the exact same ways to make John McCain look bad. We KNOW she can stand up to the Repubs.

Barack needs to figure out a response because he DOES look like a coward by avoiding debates.

27. my guy isn't in full desperation mode. he doesn't have to conform to her schedule.
Hillary looks like a second-tier candidate because she is begging for more airtime.

19. s Obama too busy counting his money to bother answering questions
from the public...who want to know what he'll do for them besides bring them hope. Is he afraid to debate Hillary? Has he told you yet what he is going to change...since he has the support of so many Rethugs. He owes them! How's he going to repay them. How is going to compromise? Don't you people want to know? You should be demanding answers before you support him!

22. Wanting more debates is always what those who feel they are losing want. The winners
generally prefer to talk directly to voters. Classic.

That Hillary wants more debates means that she thinks she is losing.
