The next pivotal primary takes place in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, and the conventional wisdom is that Hillary Clinton will win the Keystone State. But looking at the size and passion of the crowd that gathered in downtown Philadelphia on Friday to cheer on Barack Obama, you would have every reason to believe that the conventional wisdom is wrong.
Before Obama took the stage at Philadelphia's Independence Park, I interviewed about two dozen people of the estimated 35,000 people who showed up to hear the Illinois senator speak. What I gathered from my interviews is that Obama's support is not primarily due to specific policy stances that differentiate him from Hillary, but more due to intangibles such as his engaging personality and inspirational style.
"I just think he represents the Democratic Reagan. I think he represents an opportunity to change America in a fundamental way," one supporter told me.

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn alter in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.

Don’t worry, Hillary, Fast Eddie Rendell has everything under control.
“I just think he represents the Democratic Reagan. I think he represents an opportunity to change America in a fundamental way,” one supporter told me.
...huh!? This “supporter” sure does know the Obama “lingo”, that’s for sure. “Change”. “Fundamental Way”. And that’s as far as it goes.
And that is??????
waiting.....waiting....waiting......

This guy is so distant from being the Democratic Reagan, I don’t even know where to begin. You can’t hate Americans and bring them together. This dude hates a large portion of Americans...and basically the portion that makes American great - both the workers and the business leaders that work together to produce our economic success.
The only ones he seems to like are the ones that take handouts from the government.
Article was ok, but not well written. I think someone really needs to do a serious study of Barry and his Obamabots. I am not surprised by anything the author found in his interviews, but I am surprised that he did not find it more disturbing.
Obama is a fascist in the real, textbook sense of the word and the left and the press is eating it up. I would create a blog and detail the incredible similarities between Obama and Hitler, but that would be another voice in the endless noise. An established journalist, preferably someone in the middle or even traditional left has to expose this creep. It’s not just about winning an election. The man and his followers are a genuine menace to western civilization.
Reagan didn't view America the way a scientist looks at a petri dish, as something ready for experimentation.
He (dukes travels)has been on FR since 9/9/07 which in my book says he is a rat supporter, posting his pro Hussein obama vanity.
This muslim racist can’t hold a candle to R. Reagan.
