Clinton takes Pennsylvania

In the build-up to the vote in Pennsylvania, it has been argued that Hillary Clinton needed a double-digit victory to prove that she remained a credible contender for the Democratic nomination. Today she got that that taking a 10 electoral point advantage over Obama in the state.

However, when she secured a surprisingly clear win, it somehow seemed like it was barely enough to keep her in the race.

It is almost as though regardless of which candidate wins each state! They are criticized for not winning resoundingly. One thing is certain the Pennsylvania primary has not made anything clearer.

Survey in PA

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Penn_Release_040208.pdf

An Independent survey conducted in Pennsylvania primary has projected a 45 - 43 lead for Obama over Clinton. An unexpected advantage for Obama considering a poll taken three weeks ago showed Clinton with a 26 point lead in the state. The survey taken amongst 1224 likely Democratic voters has a margin of error ratio of +/- 2.8%. In essence it highlights little more than the fact that race is inconclusive.
