I am a strong former Hillary Clinton supporter who is now ready to help lead my Labor Union to a smashing Senator Obama victory in November especially for PA & NJ. I am excited and ready to give my all for the honorable Senator from Illinois.

For Clinton supporters who are still undecided about Sen. Obama, I hope you know that our country has to come first. We need you in November. Without a united Democratic Party, it will be very difficult if not almost impossible to win a national race.

To prove my point of a much needed united party,

Stuart Rothernberg is the 3rd so called "political guru" in the last 72 hours( Cook & Rasm were the other two) who has stated that the 2008 race may eventually look very similar to the '04 & '00 in terms of states & battlegrounds on the map.

Now that both parties have settled on a official nominee, Republicans & Republican leaning indies will start coming home.
Same with Democrats & its dem leaning indies.

As Roth & Cook have pointed out, the democratic votes may increase in many parts of the country on election day. This will be due to the heavy african-american & youth turnout. Plus, the massive 50 state spending of Senator Obama's campaign. But it won't be enough to flip these so called strong red states.

Thus, unless their is a complete Mccain meltdown or a GOP collapse, pretty much the same battleground states will be up for grabs in November.

Money advantage is always huge. But the Obama vs. Clinton fiasco proved clearly that even a 4 to 1 edge is not enough to win or flip states. Yes, it can make a candidate competitive. But to actually carry the state, its a whole other story. Ohio, Texas, PA, & Indiana showed that clearly.

This is why our candidate needs more than just money. We need Democrats to come home ! The so called polls showing 20% or 25% possible crossover will not do it. That's way too high.

Lets not repeat the mistakes of the 80's. You learn from your mistakes in history.

Speaking as a labor working class white male, the same group of people may or may not make the same mistake made in the 1980's.

We cannot afford 4 more years of the same back breaking economic, foreign, domestic policy.

This is not about Obama anymore. This is about your family, your children & grandchildren.

With a united party, Obama can & will carry states like Ohio, PA, MI, NJ, MO, NH & thus be the next President of the United States.

Let's go !

P.S. Senator Obama's 50 state strategy is a blessing for the democratic party. This strategy may not show its fruits yet in 2008. But long term, Sen. Obama's campaign would be responsible for the phenomenal long term success of the Democratic party.
