Please review the page B 11 of the Inquirer for an advertisement placed by my father, former Mayor Bill Green. In it, he makes the case for Barack Obama. I believe it is a great perspective on the Democratic presidential primary. Check out this link k or attached pdf.

BARACK OBAMA

We have not even reached the upcoming Democratic South Carolina primary yet, and already the Presidential withdrawals are mounting.

On the Republican side, former Senator Fred Thompson today joined Congressmen Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter on the Republican side in the withdrawal column. Democratic Senators Joe Biden, head of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Chris Dodd, head of the Banking Committee, have already withdrawn.

Withdrawals have a cumulative effect, both forcing onetime middle tier candidates into the bottom tier and making withdrawals more socially acceptable and politically predictable.
