ENPR: Pa. Win Gives Hillary a Super-Delegate Wedge Outlook by Robert Novak and Timothy P. Carney Posted: 04/23/2008 Outlook Despite her impressive win in Pennsylvania, Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) still faces a very difficult path to the nomination. It is impossible for her to win more elected delegates than Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). It is possible that she could yet win a majority of the composite popular primary vote, but probably not without tallying the outlawed Michigan and Florida votes. Clinton's more feasible path—though very difficult—is to convince the super-delegates, by winning the remaining primaries, that she has the momentum. The two most important future primaries are North Carolina and Indiana May 6, but North Carolina looks nearly impossible, considering that half of the state's 2.5 million registered voters are African-Americans. That leaves Clinton with the hope that super-delegates will see Obama as a loser against Sen. John McCain (Ariz.). The attacks by he...

Photo: Yahoo News "The road to 1600 Pennsylvania Road runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania." ~ Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after winning the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary on April 22, 2008. Thank God, Senator Hillary Clinton has done it again, with another big state win in n Pennsylvania! It is an outstanding victory for Hillary Clinton who beat Barack Obama by 10 points. She won 55% of the votes, while Barack Obama won 45%. Barack Obama spent over $11 million on TV adverts and other strategies in his desperation to win the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary and lost to Hillary Clinton who spent only about $5 million. Hillary has the artillery to secure victory for the Democratic Party in the Presidential Election in November 2008. The Democratic Party will lose the Presidential Election without Hillary Clinton. Only the dream team of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton or Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama can beat John McCain and the political machine of the GOP in the...

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore April 21st, 2008 Friends, I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama? I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name. Seriously, I know so many people who don't care if the name under the Big "D" is Dancer, Prancer, Clinton or Blitzen. It can be Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Barry Obama or the Dalai Lam...
