"The Barack Barage" is a nice allusion to the first world war as now i think about it there are plenty of similarities, a massive bombardment (Obama's media buy) against a rock solid defensive position (Clinton massive organisational and demographic edge in PA)... wouldnt be surprised if the whole thing panned out the same way again.
You mean that when Obama's troops go over the top on the first day they will discover, to their horror, that not only are the Clinton defenses basically undamaged, but that the bombardment hasn't even broken the barbed wire?
Casualities on both sides would be extremely high.
Pretty much... I've been likening writing my dissertation to the battle of the Somme so the analogy apealed to me and i think it fits PA rather nicley, of course there could be various ways of interpreting it, i mean the Obama folks would probably hope that it'd be more like Amiens rather than the Somme or Passchendaele, then again they could face complete disaster and then it'd be more like the second Battle of the Aisne... but perhaps I'm taking this too far
