Yes He Should.

Absolutely and should campaign hard in both.

Yes. But I don't know how hard he should campaign. More than just cursory, but he needs to also be looking to the GE now.

YES

And so should his supporters.

We should approach both of these states as if the game is fully afoot, and pour energy and advertising money into them with a positive, "Lets join together and beat John McCain" approach.

Hillary could secure one thing with these upcoming events, something she has for the moment and might want to keep for the future; the respect of people like me and everyone else who defended her all these years as a woman of great honor.

NOT the character played by Emma Thopson in Travolta's revolting "Primary Colors"...

NOT the "hell hath no fury" harpy...

NOT the bitter turncoat McCain lauder.

But the Hillary we all think we know and love, the staunch Democrat who is loyal to her own party, and not "The Clinton Party."

If she were to take the highest road and openly endorse Obama, asking her supporters to back him as a show of solidarity, that would be the best-case scenario.

But barring that improbability, she should make this as clean and wholesome as she can, touting her virtues, not Obama's media-contrived fault lines.

Better yet, she should approach Obama about paying all her old campaign staffers and other bills, and they should make a bunch of unity commercials that start the general election NOW!

Obama recognized something very crucial here in his speech in NC.

This is bigger than Hillary or Barack it is as big as "all of us," it is the sum of all our hope, real hope, and not just an Obama brand of hope.

He knows it, we know it, now if the Hillary supporters would start to accept it, we could all share ONE HOPE, ONE GOAL, ONE FUTURE.

For The People.

ALL OF THEM!

Why even ask that question. We are one people.
He should campaign in those states, and campaign hard.
He needs to meet the people and press the flesh.
He does very well when he does that, and he needs the at the experience to sharpen his retail campaign skills.

He certainly has a gift for getting a lot of people on his side...Yes, if he's out pressing the flesh and meeting/greeting, he will have a rather profound impact on the primaries in those states. No, he won't win there, but he'll close the gap considerably and impress another superD. or two.
And, the more personal exposure he gets now, the easier it will be for his campaign to blunt some of the right-wing b.s. over who and what he is.
I think it's absolutely imperative that he campaigns and campaigns real hard in those states.

Barack must campaign in these states -- and he must campaign there vigorously, to minimize Hillary's margins and preserve his lead, even as he builds big firewalls in Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota.

He must not fall into the post-Iowa trap of believing he already has this sewn up -- he doesn't.

Also, notice that, as on previous occasions, where Hillary sang Kumbaya on debate night and pulled out the knife the next morning, her tone on Tuesday night was positively valedictory, in many ways -- but yesterday, she was defiant as ever.

In addition to pushing hard on Michigan and Florida, both Hillary and her campaign are continuing to peddle a shameless race argument that has become more explicit than ever.

Yesterday, her strategist Geoff Garin bragged about her advances with "the white electorate." And in an interview with USA Today yesterday, she said:

I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on...Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and...whites in [Indiana and North Carolina] who had not completed college were supporting me.

Later in the article:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that in Indiana, Obama split working-class voters with Clinton and won a higher percentage of white voters than in Ohio in March...[saying:] "These statements from Sen. Clinton are not true and frankly disappointing."

Hillary and her campaign no longer are pretending to disguise their specious "electability" arguments with euphemisms like "blue collar."

She's saying outright: "Pick me. I'm the one the whites like."

Hillary remains hostile, and must be treated as such.
