PSU: Michael Stewart is a Stud

Holy crap, fifty-four hundred?

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will be speaking at Penn State on Sunday morning at 11:30 on the Old Main lawn, two sources close to the campaign confirmed today.
As part of his tour across Pennsylvania, Obama will be making a stop in State College, Greg Stewart, co-chair of Obama's Pennsylvania field team, said.
Michael Stewart, president of Penn State Students for Barack Obama, also confirmed Obama's appearance and said it is a direct result of his organization registering 5,400 Penn State students as Democrats.

Okay...that's crazy. Penn State Students for Barack Obama registered 5,400 students as Democrats? How many did Hillary's group register? Here's a little perspective. In the 2002 gubernatorial primary between Ed Rendell and Bob Casey, here were the results for Centre County, where Penn State resides.

Ed Rendell 3,971 52.5%
Bob Casey Jr. 3,597 47.5%

Now...consider what 5,400 new Barack Obama votes means to the likely outcome in Centre County. Michael Stewart and his crew could come out of this election as legends.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that anyone would objectify you in this way.

Re: PSU: Michael Stewart is a Stud (4.00 / 2)

Haha. It was an amazing thing to participate in and witness this event. I think there were at least 300 student volunteers that made this happen. And they all annoyed the crap out of everyone on campus with two incessant questions: Are you registered to vote? (If yes) Are you registered in Centre County? I hope that Mike Stewart gets to be an Obama delegate. He deserves it.

Those numbers are incredible. Let's hope they actually vote.

Re: the phones (none / 1)

Poll: Obama leads Clinton nationally

THE RACE: The presidential race for Democrats nationally
THE NUMBERS
Barack Obama, 49 percent
Hillary Rodham Clinton, 39 percent
_
OF INTEREST:
The two rivals' standings in the Pew Research Center poll have changed little from late February, the latest indication that so far Obama has weathered the controversy over provocative sermons by his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. [.]
While Obama has a mostly favorable image among white Democrats, those with unfavorable views about him are likelier to say equal rights for minorities have gone too far and to oppose interracial dating. Almost one in four white Democrats who view Obama unfavorably also think he is Muslim, when in fact he is Christian.

guess Obama will need to get across that 25% (one in four) divide. Prejudices die hard, if ever.

Re: the phones (none / 1)

I've seen other polls that are closer, but I sure like this one. :)

And even the close ones have him ahead. I'm interested in seeing the numbers once Tuzla has had a chance to sink in.

Re: the phones (none / 1)

Pew seems to skew Democratic, doesn't it? I vaguely remember it having Kerry up by a half-decent margin before his debacle in 2004.

Kill because somebody was killed. Get killed because he killed. Do you think peace will ever come like that?

Jay Paterno (none / 1)

I noticed that Obama got the endorsement of Jay Paterno, son of the legendary football coach at Penn State, so there's some kinda Obama thing going on in that town...
