Obama is Way off Message
If this were a boxing match, Obama would be in his corner getting cut treatment having lost the last three rounds (weeks). Clinton may not be moving in for the knockout but Obama has been staggered.
Obama was on defense the entire night last night and you don’t win elections that way. Team Clinton is on the air in PA with not one but two negative ads.
It is startling that the leader in PA (most polls have her up 5-9 points) is going negative. The only reason has to be that polls were moving toward Obama (the gap has closed from 18 points) and Clinton is going for the jugular.
The net effect of the Wright issue and the “bitter” comments is that Obama is no longer talking about hope and opportunity. He is desperately off-message. While this is still his nomination to lose, he has to find a way to get back on track or Clinton could soundly beat him next Tuesday.
