"Obama inspires"-Bucks County Courier Times
http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/327-04162008-1519834.html

Obama is intelligent, articulate and has demonstrated a strong ability to understand the issues. He's also shown character under fire. And he's run an incredibly savvy campaign for a first-time presidential candidate.

In fact, the professional way he's conducted his campaign and the deft organization he's put together, which has outmaneuvered Clinton, is impressive. We believe Obama would bring the same professionalism to the executive branch of government since he isn't tied into lobbyists and special interests.

Perhaps most importantly, Obama is more likely to get us out of Iraq since, unlike Clinton, he didn't vote for the war in the first place and has been a constant critic of the war. And, more so than Clinton, we believe he'd be successful in spearheading a diplomatic solution to the war by drawing friends and enemies into the discussions, something he has openly advocated. Finally, we believe Obama's gift for oratory would inspire unity in a nation that is now — and too often in the past has been — divided.

For these reasons we are inspired to endorse Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for president.

4. This is an important Philly suburb that Obama should carry Tues, I projected it for Obama based on
high concentration of educated folks.


Bucks County is another Philly suburban county in the Delaware River Valley. It is where George Washington crossed the Delaware River in December of 1776 on his way to one of the most significant battles in the Revolutionary war. It has few African Americans but is highly educated with 31.2% having a Bachelors degree or higher. It is also significantly young compared to the rest of the state.

State projections:

8. A lot of people move from NYC to Bucks County
Maybe it used to be true. I remember it as quite rural, but I guess it's mainly 'burbs by now.
