Obama, PA, and Energy

I got another email from the Obama campaign today that was focused on increasing involvement for voter registration. This is going to be critical. Here is a link to get started for registering Pennsylvania voters. After watching the community organizing video also watched a couple of ads that are running over in PA. I think ads do matter, but grass roots organizing is what gets the vote out. I’m from Philadelphia and I know that voter registration will be key if Obama expects to tighten the gap between Hillary. Hillary has the support of Ed Rendell, the governor, and has the support of the Philadelphia Mayor because he won’t commit political suicide. Philadelphia needs all the help it can get from the Governor’s Office. Having support from the mayor means that Hillary will try to limit Barack’s momentum in mobilizing the black vote. At the same time Obama is presenting his mother’s side to white and rural voters to win some swing votes. If Barack can avoid any negative news before this next contest he might be able to gain some ground in the PA contest.
Check out the ads running in PA:

And here is a cool excerpt from a Rally in Beckley, WV. The topic is energy:
