A shocking development in the Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton defeated Barack Obama to get the majority of that state's delegates, keeping her in the race for the time being.
According to CNN.com, the senator from New York still trails the senator from Illinois in the national delegate count, 1719 to 1586. But that doesn't matter, as long as Clinton still thinks she has a shot. She does very well in the big-state primaries, not so much in the little states and the caucuses. It's the latter that's going to be put in play next.
Which means the next "crucial" primaries will be in two weeks, when North Carolina and Indiana voters weigh in. In reality, of course, it all comes down to the "superdelegates" to make sure this thing doesn't drag into the convention come August. And even there Obama has an edge.
Obviously, Clinton is counting on Obama to deliver more screwups such as the "bitter" comments and the Reverend Wright thing to ensure that it is she who should be on the podium that final night in Denver. Unless, of course, she (or her husband Bill) delivers a few herself.
