Apparently the delegate county will be a push with maybe either side gaining 8 or 9 net delegates.
These next 6 weeks are gonna be nasty, nasty, nasty. It'll be interesting to see if Obama can withstand such attacks. I'm crossing my fingers but time will tell.
It could come down to PA but it depends on who wins. I don't see Clinton doing any better here than her 10 point win in Ohio. Another Clinton win, after Obama wins in Wyoming and Mississippi, and its just going prolong the battle; the negative campaigning could ruin the Democrats' chances in November. However, if Obama can win PA I think he can finally close the deal.
He can come close here, but winning PA will be damned hard for Obama. My buddy (and sometime commentor on this site) Pat pointed out to me last night that Barack has had trouble with working-class, white Catholics throughout the primaries. Given the demographic makeup of this states Democratic voting populace, that doesn't bode well for him in places like Allegheny County, Erie, or Scraton-Wilkes Barre. He's got an uphill fight.
