Where is the democratic leadership at in this county. I'm sure they have a significant amount of influence in terms of what cities candidates visit during their campaign. Are the poeple in York county going to be denied an opportunity to experience Obama's history making journey?

Obama will probably not make a stop in York. York's only Democrat in the state legislature came out in support of Clinton. Besides he knows that based on the demographics that he's not going to win the county, his best bet is to not get blown out of the state in general. He'll focus on Philly and the Philly suburbs, hope for high turn out there and hope to not lose by a huge margin in the rest of the state, which by the way was the basis of Rendell's strategy in the '02 primary against Casey. Should check out the NY Times article from March 28 on the race, "Obama to Begin Push in Pennsylvania in Hope of Offsetting Clinton Advantages".

Obama? Why? I guess I am glad that the people are finally seeing him for what he is. We need to support Liberty and the CONSTITUTION not this blatherskite.

Kudos to MRno for posting the word blatherskite! That's the coolest word I've seen on here in a long time.
Yo, kkk in reading: you probably already have been president; a lot of folks voted for you 4 and 8 years ago, except fot maybe the silly racist part. There are plenty of people here and elsewhere that want you to know, your kind of bigotry is in the minority, and people like myself will minimize and challenge your rubbish whenever you have the urge to share your poison.

Same old same old from Obama's camp. Saw lots of talk but no solutions or detailed steps on how to accomplish the same things that they all promise us.

Ummm keep thinking your view is so popular, you might find yourself alone in the "lets welcome minorities with open arms because we're guilty white folk" band wagon. Dope.

The YDR Editorial staff wonders why Obama will not visit York? Because my hometown is full of ignorant fools who wouldn't vote for him because he's black.

The only hope this nation has and has always had is generational change. One day you white-hillbilly's will be dead and your hate and ignorance with it. Hopefully, your children are small in number

Obama has a plan to get the economy back on track, stimulate job growth in sectors where jobs have been shipped overseas, he's against big interests.

I was a Clinton supporter until I discovered she wants to 'fix' healthcare by eliminating my Dad's job. Insurance brokers aren't the problem it's the money hungry CEO's of healthcare providers.

I don't know about you but a former pres. of the Harvard Law Review, community organizer, is who I want to lead this country.

I don't know why you are attempting to divert the subject? We were talking about YOUR racism. Thinking people don't cotton (I love that term) to racism of any sort. Your statement's logic is so flawed, it should be an embarrassment to you.

Does the YDR support Obama? I haven't read where they have done any questions like this with Clinton?

Let alone you have 5 minutes and these are the only question you ask? Give me a break! Who approved the questions to be asked? Let alone the obama campaign must not think much of our area if they only gave 5 minutes.

At least the people asked a few questions with issues.

This article was a joke, filler space. Obama as a lot of politicians has been vague in most answers and has no plan but talks good. He talkes change, but haven't we all heard that one before.
