Frankly, Ditto for all the grass-roots calls.  It's good to get out the vote, but people were being peppered by both sides and were irritable.

Too many ads also makes people mad.  

Obama is the frontrunner, has been for months, in many circles the de facto nominee, all this time. He has had close to two months since he won 11 straight contests by an average of around 20-30 pts and has broken every single fundraising record there is.  

Ever since Iowa he has gotten the best media coverage and treatment of any politician for years.  Every day and night pundits in the media have annointed him the winner, explained (ad nauseum) how it's impossible for Hillary to win, have implored her to drop out, and generally praised Obama as the Second Coming of FDR & JFK. Even high-profile Senators Dodd and Leahy, Speaker Pelosi, and Howard Dean amongst others, have pretty much proclaimed Obama the winner. (and to make sure of it, they have ignored two big states)

He gave a speech that was praised by the media as a mixture of Lincoln at Gettysburg and King at the Lincoln Memorial with a good measure of Christ at the Mount of the Beatitudes thrown in.

and he has a bottomless pit of gold in the campaign treasury, the incredible blitzkrieg of his radio, newspaper and TV campaign, (his ads saturated more than 3 or 4 to 1 for weeks) and blow-out fund-raising capacity - outspending Hillary three or five to one -- and his personal race across the state, bus, train and sell-out venues, and his massive ground-troop organisation, including a massive voter registration drive, negative campaign tricks like the Harry & Louise ads - and to top it off, we keep hearing how he has gained, and gained and gained super-delegate endorsements in a continuous stream.

Add to that, the fact that Hillary has been hounded and beaten up constantly with such incredibly high negatives throughout the campaign, negatives that scream she cannot be elected to any logical person, (or so I keep being told by all the `experts')  

But he still can't put her away? With all those odds in his favor, Obama should be winning by 5-10 points, not losing by 5.  

If Obama can't win this blue-leaning swing state against a weakened, broke, high-negative, unanimously-hated Clinton - what does it say about his electability in November?

Stubborn lot, some voters.
I saw one guy being interviewed with his kids, as they were leaving a ball game in Philly, and he said "A woman runs my house, and she does just fine, whats the difference with a woman running the White House? Clinton knows what needs doing."
