it's going to come down to the super delegates, and I think both Obama and Hillary will have good cases to make for themselves; a lot of it is going to depend on PA, though.
What is Hillary's case? She's not winning this election. She will not have the majority of delegates behind her when the DNC rolls around. IF she wins, it'll be a heist via super delegates which would piss off 1/2 the Democratic Party.
if Hillary's momentum continues and she wins PA, she can make a case that democratic voters have had second thoughts and that she'll be able to carry far more hispanic voters than Obama, especially when John "McCain-Kennedy" McCain is likely to make a huge push for them.
These are the curious propaganda of the Hillary campaign- the states "chosen" to be "important" favor Hillary. The ones where Obama leads or wins are pooh-poohed.
TX & Pennsylvannia were both states with perfect demographics for Hillary, and she was ahead in the polling when their election was declared so important.
So, after yesterday we see she got approx 3 delegates out of all 4 states. Big whoop.
Now it's all eyes are on PA, why?
Cuz it's again another state with her demographic and she leads in the polls there.
Why isn't North Carolina mentioned? It has over 130 delegates (PA has about 180). Could it be that Obama has a huge lead in NC?
Pennsylvania has NOT voted Republican in a Presidential race since 1988. Why is it given such importance? No matter the Dem candidate it will vote Dem again this year.
OTOH, while North Carolina has Dem governor and a Dem controlled congress it voted for GWB. Here is a state that the Dems could pick up. Seems more important to me. But Hillary is not leading here, can't focus here.
Edit: The rancor in this thread between Obama & Clinton supports is instructive. If the positions of Obama & Clinton were reversed, I've no doubt he wouldv'e been out already for the sake of party unity.
Hillary divisive effect is universal, affecting not only those outside her party, but those within. Everything she's doing now in this primary contest is exectly what ewe can expect if she's elected to President. You're getting a glimpse of things to come.
