Obama Attempts to Deceive the Superdelegates
After Obama's devastating defeat in Pennsylvania, the Obama campaign released a memo addressed to the superdelegates but published in the Wall Street Journal which argues that Obama would be the strongest candidate in the Fall against McCain. The memo is so deeply flawed that Jerome Armstrong ridicules it as "satire," and "exhibit A" for "intellectual dishonesty":
I don't know that I've ever seen anything a campaign poll memo that so obviously cherry-picks polls over the last 4 months to make their case. It's almost satire. Some rookie mailed it in on behalf of the Obama campaign's "memo to the superdelegates". I couldn't imagine a known political blogger creating this list, and not being laughed and mocked out of the blogosphere.
Not only are the polls cited by Obama Inc. stale, but much has transpired since many of these polls were taken. Most importantly, Rev. Wright has entered the nation's consciousness and Obama--contrary to his claims--failed to repudiate Wright. Obama was able to blunt criticism in the media by giving his "race" speech, but the public at large has turned off to Obama and the rational for his candidacy has vanished. A simple overview of the Pennsylvania results demostrates this fact. Hillary won 60 out of 67 counties in Pennsylvania and took every group except African Americans and those earning over $150,000 a year. In the critical state of Pennsylvania, Rasmussen Reports in a poll released today that Hillary leads McCain by 5 points but McCain beats Obama by 1 point. That's after Obama spent $11.2 million on ads and six weeks in the state. If the Obama campaign wants superdelegates to look at numbers, then these numbers from Pennsylvania must be considered:
