CNN - Hillary Wins PA

I also think that Obama's small-state strategy will help Democrats down ticket. It's really too early to tell what November will be like, but I'm hopeful due to the very high Democratic turnout.

For all the clamoring that some right wingers are making out of this hotly contested race, believing that this hurting the Democrat's chances for the WH, that is the punch that's going to knock them out....they won't know what hit 'em come election time in November.

She won by 12 percentage points

For those still debating whether Obama's remarks about small-town voters harmed him or not, the data suggest he hurt himself. Among gun owners, Clinton won 60 percent of the vote. Among small-town voters, she won 59 percent of the vote to Obama's 41 percent. In previous contests, Obama's had a slim 49 percent to 45 percent edge among small-town voters. Clinton also won among religious voters.

“You can’t discount the fact that Senator Clinton has won those big states you have to win,” Caputo said in an interview with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. “It will put some questions in the minds of superdelegates ... how come Barack Obama just can’t seem to close the deal?”

Of the states left, the biggest prize is North Carolina, a state that both sides are predicting Obama will win. Clinton dispatched one of her top state organizers, California and Texas veteran Ace Smith, to North Carolina in an effort to get every vote she can. Smith told reporters last week that getting the percentage spread within single digits would be a victory for Clinton. Obama's also expected to win Oregon and South Dakota.

So where can she look for victory? West Virginia and Kentucky are likely Clinton wins, but they offer less than 100 delegates combined. She also has a chance in Guam, Puerto Rico, Montana and Indiana. But none of them are likely to give her a big enough margin to put her over Obama.

To win, she needs to convince voters that Obama is not electable in November even though he's ahead in the delegate race.

I think more than ever now that it will be a joint Obama-Clinton ticket or possible the other way around. In which case I'll agree with you that voter turnout would guarantee the win. I'm still skeptical of either of them on their own.

All sources are showing 99% reporting.

And whoever said she has 12 del gain - CNN & Fox show a 16 del gain & it's not the complete 158.

Why don't you tell us all the other state percentages, broken down? A fraction of a percentage point never mattered in any of those....?

Well, if the math is right, then the lead may be 9% at the end of the day rather than 10%. Single or double digit is not exactly a fractional issue and seems rather relevant with this particular primary result.

You may be right, but it will depend if Hillary would take the back seat over Obama.

In that case, Obama better watch his back as that would open a different path to the Oval Office for Hillary.

To some extent they both appeal to seperate demographics. If both of these democraphics voted for the democratic candidate next november, McCain has no chance of winning. But I don't think Hillary nessarily needs Hillary to capture that demographic, he should be able to do it with someone else.

Good point. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano would fit nicely....a popular governor who is well liked by Republicans and she endorsed Obama awhile back.

Edit: She'd be stealing some of McCain's thunder in Arizona....that's for sure.
