USA-valet: Obama tar nostalgitåget i valkampanjen i Pennsylvania
April 19th, 2008
Barack Obama och senator Senator Bob Case i Wynnewood i Pennsylvania idag lördag.
Ah nostalgin vilar tungt över Barack Obamas tågresa genom delar av Pennsylvania inför tisdagens senaste ödesval.
På 1930-, 1940- och in på 1950-talet så var det såhär som amerikanska presidentkandidater reste runt i landet för att träffa väljare och hålla tal i hundratals småstäder utefter järnvägslinjerna.
Sen kom radion och TV:n och flyget och de s.k. whistle stop-resorna föll i glömska.
Men för Obama är det ett bra grepp i det konservativa Pennsylvania där man alltså går till valurnorna nu på tisdag.
De vattentäta skotten i Hillary och Bill Clintons Titanic har börjat brista och även om hon väntas vinna primärvalet i Pennsylvania är slutet nära. Alltfler demokratiska politiker överger det sjunkande skeppet och Clinton börjar få allt större problem med att finansiera sin valkampanj.
Jeff Zeleny skriver om Obamas tågresa genom Pennsylvania: Obama Takes Campaign to the Rails in Pennsylvania
For more than a year, the field of presidential candidates have campaigned across America by plane and by bus. The trip across Southeastern Pennsylvania today was the first run on a train of the 2008 race, with Mr. Obama slowly making his way from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.
It is the final weekend push before the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, where Mr. Obama is locked in a fierce battle with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. In recent weeks, Mr. Obama has campaigned on two fronts, alternating his focus between Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, and Mrs. Clinton.
Today, as he delivered his closing argument to the voters of this state, Mr. Obama focused on the Democratic side of the contest and drew sharp distinctions with Mrs. Clinton. To a burst of applause, he declared: “You do have a choice in this primary.”
Pressen på henne att sluta växer och kommer att växa till ett crescendo om hon inte vinner med minst 10% på tisdag.
