Tonight’s outcome is unlikely to change the dynamic of this lengthy primary. Fully three quarters of the remaining delegates will be selected in states other than Pennsylvania. While there are 158 delegates at stake in today’s primary, there are 157 up for grabs in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries two weeks from […]

An early indication that Sen. Barack Obama thinks he’ll lose today’s Pennsylvania primary: He’s heading to Indiana tonight for a rally with John Mellencamp while Sen. Hillary Clinton plans a victory party in Philadelphia.
In addition, Obama’s campaign also released a memo essentially erasing all expectations of a win.

Still undecided?
If you’re a Pennsylvania Democrat and today dawned with you still struggling, it could mean one of several things:
You could be one of those terminally indecisive people, for whom even ordering at Applebee’s becomes an hour-long agony.
More likely, it means you’re an earnest citizen who feels how momentous this choice is - […]

For the last six weeks Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., have battled and bickered and both have unleashed a barrage of negativity in television ads that have aired thousands of times in the state.
That barrage of ads will come to an end today as the Democrats of Pennsylvania head to […]

Wow — we are finally here, Pennsylvania Primary day. I’ll be voting in a couple of minutes and hopefully the little old ladies will still have good cookies on sale at my polling station. I’m still not sure where the state will go tonight. I’m still comfortable with my initial call that […]

ABC’s Rick Klein reports: Bill Clinton accused Barack Obama’s campaign of “playing the race card on me” and told a Philadelphia radio station that the Obama campaign took his Jesse Jackson comment and “twisted it for political purposes.”
And as the interview concluded, Clinton turned to an associate and said, “I don’t think […]

When I spoke briefly with George Stephanopoulos yesterday afternoon, I had also reached out to Charlie Gibson, who did not return an e-mail (or comment in any publication throughout the day).
But on “World News,” Gibson mentioned public criticism of Wednesday’s ABC’s Democratic debate.
Charlie Gibson: Next we turn to presidential politics, a day after […]

A Zogby tracking poll in Pennsylvania shows Sen. Hillary Clinton “had a good day” following a contentious debate on Wednesday night and now holds a 47% to 43% advantage over Sen. Barack Obama — just inside the poll’s 4.1 point margin of error.
Key finding: “There was a shift in the genders. Among men, […]

I’d forgotten that for months now Charlie Gibson has been asserting that $200,000 is a solid middle-class income, blissfully unaware that just 3.4 percent of U.S. households have an income of $200,000 or more. You could be richer than 96 percent of your fellow citizens, but still just folks to Gibson. Obviously that’s […]

As others have noted the debate was an enormous letdown on the part of the media. Gibson and Stephanopoulos were shameful, asking questions about Bittergate and Bosnia and Wright instead of healthcare and housing and foreign policy. And the flag pin question nearly gave me a stroke.
It’s clear that the giants […]
