Before Barack Obama experienced a rough couple of weeks, his campaign was optimistic about his chances in this state.

With sleeves rolled up and folksy on his mind, Barack Obama stepped into the Evansville Labor Temple — a highbrow name for a barlike haunt where the walls are adorned with photos of Nascar drivers, basketball schedules and a poster celebrating the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition.

The Obama campaign has started to keep a running count of superdelegates on its results page.

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 […]
