Spin Of The Day

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, Pennsylvania

“He is doing everything he can to win in Pennsylvania. And if he doesn’t win, it will be a significant defeat for him.”
- Howard Wolfson trying to frame a potential single-digit win by Hillary.

And I bet if Obama does win by a very narrow margin, which nobody thought possible a couple weeks ago, it would be a scrappy defeat by Hillary since Obama has spent a lot of money in the state.

I also like the phrase, “He is doing everything he can.” Sorry, but isn’t this expected? Obama has competed in every single state. It’s Hillary who has been careful to pick and choose her contests…including those 11 between Super Tuesday and Ohio she decided to skip. Oh wait, she tried to win Wisconsin, but Obama pummeled her.

Oh spin…

‘every single state’ isn’t correct. He wasn’t on the primary ballot in Michigan. Had he been on, I wouldn’t have voted for McCain in the primary.
