Chris Bowers, who prefers Obama, notes with some frustration that Hillary Clinton is outhustling his man.
The differences in Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina are particularly stark, with Clinton holding 181 campaign events in those three states, compared to 80 events for Obama. And the gap appears to keep getting larger… It makes a mockery of the notion that Clinton should drop out, and also hurts Obama’s perception as the presumptive nominee. If he is the presumptive nominee, then why do the Clintons seemingly have so much more energy? Stats like these make me wonder if Obama’s massive activist corps seems to be working harder than Obama. As an Obama supporter, I have to say that I am not in the least bit happy with these numbers. If he wants to put Clinton away, the campaign needs to start holding a lot more events in upcoming primary states. Note: Hillary Clinton herself has more events than Barack Obama himself. It is not all Bill Clinton, and some of the Obama events are Michelle Obama. Hillary Clinton is doing more events than OBama in key states. If you think that ins’t a problemn, fine. If you think that is a problem, get annoyed at the Obama campaign, not me.
This may be a seriously underestimated factor. If heading out, giving the speech, shaking hands, kissing babies, and doing shots can win votes, Hillary’s just out-pacing Obama in the past six weeks or so.
UPDATE: Note that most of Bowers’ readers reaction to this information is to rake him over the coals for being “unfair” to the father of two small children.
Of course. Anyone who indicates the Obama campaign is even partially responsible for its own problems must be silenced!
