Could Hillary's lead in PA be Obama's key to the winning the nomination?

[RiverStone]

Now that Obama has handily won Mississippi, on we go to Pennsylvania. How will the candidates be spending the 6 weeks leading up to April 22? Are we all going to be camped out in PA (on-line or otherwise)?

Hillary supporters are understandably touting her 18-19 point lead in the state currently - but - what if Barack could come back from another BIG deficit and win? Even an Obama win by the slimmest of margins would very probably assure a Clinton exit. If she loses PA and/or if Obama comes back in this "key" state, then the pressure on her to withdraw would be compelling. In a way, the more we hear about her BIG lead in PA the better the end result could be for Obama if can pull a win.:)

At the very least, a strong showing by Obama - maybe even in the form of a close loss - would be the push that many Super Delegates need to finally put an end to our contentious primary season.

So, what advice would you give to Obama to WIN in PA? How do we reach the rural PA voters that the M$M have already declared leaning to Clinton?

4. I'd love for this dance to END April 22....about midnight or so.

I'm assuming the Obama campaign would also dig a break in the action - time to rest up for the McCain war ahead.

Otherwise, I still think he will win - but we will be back in (hurry up and wait) mode.

5. The Margin Is Going To Be Closing By The Primary

She might win, but it won't be nearly as much as people are assuming.

6. march 24th deadline voter registration

Obama has almost 2 weeks to register new voters...Ohio was deadlined before Super Tuesday, hopefully this will help him close the gap more than Ohio.

7. He cuts it down to single digits

it should be looked at as a Clinton loss and Obama victory.
