Clinton outduels Obama in Pennsylvania

Mrs. Clinton’s margin in Pennsylvania was probably not sufficient to alter the basic dynamics of the race, but it made clear that the contest will continue.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s win over Barack Obama in the primary gives her a boost as she struggles to raise money.

Senator Barack Obama opened the next phase of his presidential campaign here Tuesday evening, seeking to turn his focus away from Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and persuade party leaders that time is running out for Democrats to start defining their Republican opponent.

“There is a sense of urgency about the time we’re losing and a sense of urgency that we not savage each other to the benefit of Senator McCain,” said David Axelrod, the chief strategist for Mr. Obama. “Ultimately, what this is about is the race in November.”

“If Senator Clinton thinks she has a legitimate chance to win the nomination, she has every reason to stay,” Mr. Axelrod said aboard the campaign plane here Tuesday evening. “But if her only strategy is to try and tear down Senator Obama, I think that’s going to make a lot of Democrats uncomfortable.”

I feel a little sad that Obama lost in Pennsylvania. That is quite a setback for him.

I know, it's getting tiresome! But here is a real brain question:
Who do you think is best suited to take on McCain... Hillary or Obama?

The Alpha-Female thinks she is best to take on the Alpha-Male!!!

I think Mr. McCain will beat either.....but I could be wrong. God knows I usually am wrong when it comes to election predictions.

Hillary could pull a large number of women to her.............Obama could bring out an incredible number of blacks.........and he does have momentum.

but America is essentually conservative.........I think McCain is the nect President.

BTW, Mr. Obama is an Alpha .....you don't get where he is without being Alpha....with a capital "A"

I like Obama and I like McCain for different reasons.

I know the world would give us a 2nd look if we got Obama in the White House.

Clinton's win in PA assures that the self destructive behavoir of the Dem party will continue. I really think Democrats are waking up to the fact that they may have backed the one person that cannot beat McCaine and that is Obama. It may be too late now.

I would have been happy to see him win as well, but don't forget when they came to
Pennsylvania, he was far behind her in the polling, and as the days went by he came closer and closer, so, although she won, he was gaining all throughout the campaigning.
He was never expected to win there.
