DEL.ICIO.USOn the last weekend before a primary, you don’t go where you’re most loved
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So here’s the final-days dynamic on the Democratic side: Barack Obama is anxious about his performance in California, and comfortable with his lead in Georgia, so we won’t see him before Tuesday.
The Hillary Clinton campaign is comfortable enough with her lead in California to cut loose one of her prime assets, husband Bill, for two appearances today in Georgia — where she’s running behind, most especially among Georgia.
Bill Clinton’s at Kennesaw State University at 6:30 p.m., then speaks to a Baptist group at 8 p.m. In addition, the Clinton has brought in Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who is African-American and who, the campaign likes to point out, went to law school with Barack Obama. Brown has engagements in Atlanta and Athens today, on Hillary Clinton’s behalf.
Last night, Gordon Giffin, the former U.S. ambassador to Canada and Hillary Clinton’s man in Georgia, said that — of the 10 states with the largest delegates up for grabs on Tuesday — Clinton is ahead in eight. Obama’s ahead in two — Illinois and Georgia.

…and you don’t go where you know large numbers of people will vote for you based on your skin color. Obama isn’t dumb.
