This report demonstrates why Obama has been careful not to add his voice to the small but growing chorus of Democrats calling on Clinton to drop out of the race (even as his surrogates join in):
Not long ago, in the days leading up to the primaries in Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas, it was hardly uncommon to come across Democrats attending Clinton campaign events out of what they described as a sense of nostalgia, with the unspoken worry that time could be running out to see her.
But with the contest in Pennsylvania more than three weeks away, followed two weeks later by Indiana and North Carolina, much of that skeptical talk has been replaced by an enthusiasm for voters to have their voices heard in the historic campaign, whether they support Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama.
The worst thing Obama could do now is be seen to be attempting to hustle Clinton out of it.
We need Al Gore. Too many Hillary supporters are very turned off by Obama and his naive supporters.
