$11.2 million versus $4.8 million.

If he doesn't win with that kind of money, that's telling something. Last time we had the same discussion (Ohio) we were saying all he needs is more time. Now he's had lots of time.

He's had more time but I don't know if it was enough or that it is a fair comparison with OH. The Clintons have been campaigning in PA for 15 years. Pretty hard to unseat that built in bias. And it is one of the few remaining states with "machine" politics from the gov to mayors everywhere. If he can hold her to 5 points or under I think it will be a huge win for him.

With all her support in Pennsylvania from the governor and mayors etc. and it being tailor-made demographics for her, and the weeks of dirty campaign tactics she has run against Obama to win, it will be an embarrassment if she wins by less than 12%. Pennsylvania was delivered to her on a platter and she still can't win big? That's just sad! We'll see what Obama does in North Carolina where he has some of those advantages.

Looking at the polls and averages at pollster.com, Obama was at 13% and was a virtual unknown in Jan. 07.

At the end of '07 he was polling at 15-20%

In the first three months of 2008 he's gone from 15% to his current average of 43%.

If Hillary were the superior candidate, the money and support would have flowed in her direction. Instead it did the opposite. She started off as the presumptive nominee, but blew it through mismanagement, and a lack of appeal to a large segment of the population.

If Barack didn't possess the superior message, he wouldn't be where he is right now. Hillary has been riding Bill's coattails for along time, and convinced herself that they were her own, but the longer this has gone on, the more we see of Hillary's limitations.

Bill did have a legacy, but Hillary has cashed out all of the equity, and the Clinton bubble has burst.

Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic candidate, is likely going to lose Pennsylvania - maybe by double digits. Why?

What don't Pennsylvanians like about him?

Hillary's remark today that "you're rolling the dice with Obama" was just unacceptable unless she can rationally explain how she can win the nomination. If she wins Pennsylvania at less than 15% than the superdelegates need to come out and back Obama. I did a study of how many delegates she will get in Pennsylvania with a 10% win and it's something like eight delegates. That's not anywhere close to what she needs to rationalize staying in the race and continue tearing the party apart.

It's notable that when we see a poll like this morning's saying 'Hillary up 11 points", many of us who support Barack will squirm. Yet two months ago she was ahead by 33 points, as Gary says above. By any standards, to come from 33 down to 11 down is an achievement for Barack, and when you factor in Hillary's name recognition and political machinery in Pa, and all the demographics well articulated above it is a serious ahcivement, one that reflects his difference and potency as a candidate and the true sense of movement powering him.

That we who support Barack think of -11 as bad this morning is incredible!

Hillary has lost that huge lead for the very same reason that she has lost huge leads in many other states; people have learned more about her, and the more they learn the less they like her.

Polls have sixty percent of voters, nation wide, not trusting her. That says it all. Very few of those sixty percent of the voters that find her untrustworthy would vote for her over McCain. She would destroy our newly won Congressional Majorities.

Interesting collection of comments. I posted this because I don't hear anyone in the MSM talking about it. To go from a 33 pt lead all the way down to 5-7 is the real narrative here. Especially in Pennsylvania, the new "home state" for the Clintons.

A win in PA. will give Hillary a handful of delegates.

The electability question mark is hanging so clearly over Hillary. Not only is she losing, her negatives are higher than ever.

How does a candidate who has no path to victory convince every news organization, every pundit, and every blogger that the narrative to report on is OBAMA'S electability?

The Clintons has successfully sold this narrative to everyone with a pulse.

They stated a month ago that what they had to do was make Obama seem unelectable.

Why has reality been left out of the discourse of this election?

And how can we do a better job keeping it in?

no amount of ad budget or canvassing is going to get hardcore bigots to vote for a black guy, period. Just like in Kentucky - he could spend a hundred million in ad money and not a single good old boy is going to cast a vote for him.

Frankly, I think Clinton's memo today saying "With all those advantages how come he can't close the deal?" is her trotting out her racial dogwhistle again with "He can't win" with the whisper of "because he's black" behind it. And that is the meaning behind "working class whites" - they are talking about Archie Bunker.

"Yes we can" is now "Yes we will"

Barry-O is now toast
