Spending 2-1 for the 11 offices in WVa (with enthusiastic volunteers who were interviewed by press there) and spending a lot of that for TV ads was actually campaigning without looking like campaigning (the latter happened in Florida in the last 2 weeks there).  But as we all know, he does better when he shows up in person (though not so much in the larger swing states since March).

2.  He's working on functioning as the presumptive nominee and going to election=states, hoping that this will firm up the (incorrect) belief that he is already the nominee.  There were phoning efforts in WVa to tell people the nominee had been selected and there was no need to vote.  Howard Dean has said that the last 6-8 contests and the momentum seen in them will be the largest factor -- meaning electability in November is key.

I realize you're for Obama and I understand his attraction to idealistic people (though I myself don't find him presenting an idealistic persona that much, though I like his soothing conversational voice (not the rally one).  But what's always struck me is that both he and Hillary were both fixed on doing good when they were young and that both really want the power to do what they feel they are best suited to do for those who need help.  

  Problem is neither one is a strong GE candidate on their own (even with a vp pick) but it's still my own feeling that a Clinton/Obama ticket would signify both change and newness in that we'd elect a woman and an African American for the top two spots!, and they'd probably bring 85% of their own groups in and wipe out any Republican team.  I think the Dem turnout vs Rep in WVa was 2 to 1 ?

  And Obama would be in a good position to head the party afterward, and I really do think that as a team they would do wonders.
