April 23, 2008 (LPAC)--American statesman Lyndon LaRouche stated yesterday that Barack Obama's Pennyslvania campaign, where he outspent Hillary Clinton 3-1, "is appealing to the faith-based initiative mystique." He referred to his discussion of this topic in his current work in progress, "An Interim LPAC Report: The U.S.A. 2008 Election."

"This is an extension of the faith-based initiative swindle developed by Karl Rove in Texas," LaRouche elaborated. "The Obama campaign is manifesting its corruption by using the faith-based initiative vote."

Obama's huge spending on Pennsylvania is intended to take Hillary Clinton out of the campaign, as London wants, LaRouche said.

LaRouche called the fact that 164,000 Republicans and Independents have changed their registrations from Republican and Independent to Democratic since Jan. 1, "A right-wing Republican sex change," like that orchestrated by Karl Rove in the Texas primary.

On election eve, Hillary Clinton's campaign communications director, Harold Wolfson, told the press that "Obama has outspent us 3-1 in Pennsylvania ... roughly $11.2 million to $4.8 million by Clinton....

"He is trying to knock Senator Clinton out of this race.... He has gone sharply negative.... And if he does not win, after having outspent us so dramatically, it will once again raise very serious questions among voters and superdelegates, about whether or not Senator Obama can win the big swing states that any Democrat would have to win in November, like Pennsylvania. And if he can't win outspending us 3-to-1 in Pennsylvania, after having lost in Ohio, outspending us there 3-to-1, questions will again be raised about whether or not he can win those big swing states that any Democrat needs to win in order to get elected President .... Senator Obama has in the past had serious problems winning states that Democrats need to win in order to win in November, like Florida, like Michigan, like Ohio. And now in Pennsylvania he is doing everything that he can to win, not to finish closely--not to do well--to win.
