A Keystone Decision
What appears to be obvious is that Hillary will win the Keystone state- Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The only question is will it be double digits and how deep into double digits. A month ago, Hillary had a 16% lead and polls have gotten Obama as close as 3% at various times though most polls now have him 5-9% behind. I'm sure Obama would love a single digit loss (9%) like 54-45.
Barack Obama said Monday he doesn't think he'll beat Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, but she might not get the win she needs. "I'm not predicting a win," he told Pittsburgh radio station KDKA. "I'm predicting it's going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect."
Close? He hopes so!
Meanwhile, Clinton aides tried to downplay expectations, insisting they would be grateful for a single-digit win even though she started the race as much as 20 points ahead in some polls. With less than 24 hours to go until the crucial Pennsylvania primary - which could decide if Clinton's campaign goes on - the two Democratic candidates kept up the barrage of negative rhetoric and advertising that they hoped would gain them high ground even as they stooped lower.
The superdelegates are watching!
And yet, controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton's inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania! Clinton is polling nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state. A strong coalition of middle-class and religious voters has all but secured a Clinton victory Tuesday, with headline-making margins, the campaign believes.
And before the polls close you cabn bet that Hillary is already in Indiana whihc votes in two weeks. But so too does North Carolina; however, she's written that one off. She'll take Pennsylvania and Indiana and give North Carolina to Obama.
Give?
