Desperate Obama seeks non-PA voters to help bail him out in PA
Massachusetts for Barack Obama to me
show details 9:02 AM (3 minutes ago) Reply

There is just one week left until the primary in Pennsylvania. Mass. supporters have already made a difference in PA and you should all be proud of the work you have done in yet another state. Through our local phone banks and your willingness to go to PA, we have reached thousands of voters. This past week, a large group of Mass. volunteers knocked on hundreds of doors in Wilkes-Barre and surrounding areas, while others knocked on doors in Philadelphia and other cities and towns. Over ONE HUNDRED of us are FIRED UP AND READY TO GO back to PA this weekend--many of us staying through primary day. Whether you can come for one day or four, the time you spend in PA will have an impact. If you have been thinking about making the trip, NOW IS THE TIME! We will have van transportation to PA leaving various points on Friday evening and Saturday morning, and return transportation Sunday through Tuesday. Discounted hotel rooms are available, as well as housing in the homes of local supporters. We will get you there! If you want more information or if you know you can make the trip with us this weekend, please contact _________.
If you cannot come to PA, we still need your help with calls to PA voters. Scheduled phone banks are listed below. WE ARE STILL IN NEED OF MORE PHONE BANKS THIS WEEK AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. If you can host a phone bank/cell phone bank in your office or homes, please let _____ know.


Unable to find enough supporters in PA, BO outsourses his "grassroots" to Massachusetts.
Maybe a few of his DU followers might want to expand their "support" to something more real than posting to Internet bulletin boards. Now's your chance.

1. And Hillary used a NJ voter in her PA attack ad.
We can phone bank from our living rooms, all across the country.

Dear XXX,

Travel for Hillary

Thank you for everything you have done over the past few weeks to support Hillary and our campaign. Your contributions, your volunteering, your spirited messages of support have all helped to keep our campaign moving forward.

Now we are approaching the final days before the Pennsylvania primary, and we need Hillary's best supporters on the ground to help us win big on April 22.

Hillary is working hard to win every day, but she can't speak personally to every voter in Pennsylvania. She needs her best surrogates -- people just like you -- knocking on doors and helping her spread the message to Pennsylvania voters.

Click here to sign up to volunteer in Pennsylvania.

Volunteers are already showing up from every corner of the country to help Hillary win her next big race in Pennsylvania.

They're making phone calls, working in our field offices, and helping out at events where Hillary speaks.

They're doing everything they can to make sure that Hillary wins on April 22 -- and they need your help.

Click here to sign up to travel to Pennsylvania and help Hillary win.

Everything you have done and everything you do is so important to our plan for victory. Thank you for all your help.

Sincerely,
Terry
Terry McAuliffe
Chairman, Hillary Clinton for President


Honestly, they ALL do this!

16. I guess you've never volunteered for a national campaign before?
During the 2004 presidential campaign, we negotiated discounted hotel rates for out-of-state volunteers and also housed many in the homes of local Kerry supporters. This is silly.

17. This is a Primary. You've heard of Primaries, yes?
"During the 2004 presidential campaign, we..."
This is a state primary.
If Obama is so like, wicked popular and stuff, why can't you find enough PA voters to help?

18. Yes it happens in primaries as well.
If you had done any volunteering as I have, you would know this.

My question to the OP: are you really that ignorant of political campaigns or are you really that dishonest?

6. And there's something wrong with this why.......?
I'm not sure I get your point but in typical Hillbot fashion it serves no positive purpose. BTW, Senator Pantsuit used non PA residents in her ad purporting to show that PA voters were angry at Obama over his "bitter" remarks. Want to call it a draw?

8. Desperate posters now call "Bad!" what most campaigns (including HRC's) call "Good!".
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 08:18 AM by Tesha
How dare Obama marshall all the resources at his command.

'Shame your candidate hasn't *GOT* any resources, ehh?

9. We got a phone call from the Clinton campaign asking for our support.
The woman was a Clinton volunteer and was calling from outside of Pennsylvania.

11. Hillary's done this too
If it was good enough for her to help her win NH (recall her busing in a bunch of out-of-state people to fill up her crowds), it's good enough for Obama.

19. All campaigns do this. I am going to PA this weekend to help out.
I've been driving up from Virginia just about every weekend to help out. In the 2004 general election, I went to Philly, West Virginia, and Ohio to knock on doors for Kerry, as did a lot of people. Some groups even bussed students down to Florida. What the hell is wrong with that?

20. how can someone post 12000 times on DU and be so naieve?
Unless, of course, they are simply being disingenuous?

Oooh, the Obama campaign is soliciting supporters outside PA to come help them.

Guess what: I got this email from the Clinton campaign:

Dear Friend,

So, I guess HRC is "desperate" too?

Care to respond? I'm not holding my breath.

I'd put you on Ignore but watching you post stupid things than be put in your place is far too entertaining to pass up.
