He just needs to overwhelm her with the type of nasty attacks she used against him for Pennsylvania. I just hope it doesn't hurt him too much for the GE. It is disgusting how she pulled out those wins.

Dictionary.com definition of "windfall": an unexpected gain, piece of good fortune, or the like.

Obama's $55 is by definition NOT a windfall - not when it comes from 727,000 individual contributors. That has nothing to do with "good fortune", and everything to do with passion and hard work.

But HE will be DOA (Dead on Arrival) in Pennsylvania, though! Sorry.

Typical Skalka biased reporting - what a hack. Anything good that happens to Obama is just dumb luck. She editorializes like crazy about all of Obama's mistakes and HRC's successes, but when anything good happens for Obama is just like "here are the numbers."
