Barack Obama for President has scheduled a rally where he will appear on Saturday.
I went to college in Rhode Island, so I'm happy to see the Ocean State get some love, but to put it bluntly, this is insane. It's much crazier than leaving Wisconsin while holding only a 4-7% lead. In the Wisconsin case, he at least had the excuse that he needed to start campaigning in Ohio and Texas; this time, winning both Ohio and Texas would effectively end the nomination contest, he's in no danger of losing Wyoming or Mississippi, and there are six weeks until the Pennsylvania primary. Getting a few delegates in Rhode Island or Vermont would be nice, but only the results from the big states will change the race's dynamics.
Can anyone come up with a good explanation for this one? Anyone? Bueller?
