Mayor Nutter came out shooting today in response to an Obama campaign memo that seeks to deemphasize the importance of winning just Pennsylvania, with a total of 10 primary state elections remaining.
“It’s one of the silliest things I’ve seen in recent times,” Nutter said of the memo during a conference call with reporters this morning. The call was coordinated by the Clinton campaign, and also included Gov. Rendell.
Nobody else talked much about the memo directly, but it seemed to weigh on the mayor's mind.
“I question its seriousness and authenticity for that matter,” Nutter said. “Any suggestion that Pennsylvania is one of a bunch of states, whatever suggestion they are trying to convey, is quite silly.”
And for good measure, he said: “If someone on my staff wrote that, I’d fire them.”
