I Lost, But It’s Ok, Send Money

April 23rd, 2008

Wow, talk about your rapid response teams.  Maybe Barry O does have a plan for a "strike force" to keep Iraq from descending into chaos.  Within a few hours of his loss in the Pennsylvania primary, an email arrived in my inbox from the Obama campaign.  It was pretty brief and to the point.  The gist of it is that we shouldn’t worry about the results, because after all the Obamessiah didn’t lose as badly as he once thought he might.  Or something like that.

Votes are still being counted in Pennsylvania, but one thing is already clear.

In a state where we trailed by more than 25 points just a couple weeks ago, you helped close the gap to a slimmer margin than most thought possible.

Thanks to your support, with just 9 contests remaining, we’ve won more delegates, more votes, and twice as many contests.

We hold a commanding position, but there are two crucial contests coming up — voters will head to the polls in North Carolina and Indiana in exactly two weeks. And we’re already building our organization in the other remaining states.

But it’s clear the attacks are going to continue, and we’re going to continue fighting a two-front battle against John McCain and Hillary Clinton.

I need your support right now. Please make a donation of $25:

Thank you for all that you’re doing to change our country.

I thought it was nice that he took time out from his concession speech and busy campaign schedule to reassure me like that.  We’re pretty tight, but sometimes it hard for candidates to make time for the people closest to them.  It’s just nice to know that the tireless work I’m doing for the cause of change is appreciated by the man himself.  It’s okay that you’re not as cool as me, I’ll still let you read my blog.

    It’s always nice when the person who outspends the opposition by a factor of three to one can claim a moral victory. That would be about the same as USC losing to Baylor by 14 and saying, “Well, we honestly thought we’d lose to these guys be three touchdowns, so we’re pretty happy,” completely ignoring the fact that there is absolutely no parallel universe in which USC should ever lose to Baylor.
