Very most likely, one of those “small towns in Pennsylvania” to which Senator Obama was referring.
I realize that most of my posts lately have been PAcentric – I don’t want anyone to think that I believe that the political world revolves around Pennsylvania, it’s just that, right now, it does.
Pennsylvania holds its Primary in one week. Tuesday, April 22nd, is the last of the hotly contested “big(ish) state” races – If Senator Clinton has a decisive win next week, as her husband, President Bill Clinton, told a crowd of steelworkers in Coatesville, PA “she can win.”
Regarding “bittergate”, personally, I …read more

During the past few weeks, both Clinton and Obama have each claimed to be best able to defeat McCain in November. Of course, victory in November means getting at least 270 votes in the Electoral College. So just for fun, let’s compare the Electoral College vote count of the two Democratic contenders.

That’s right. At this point, I am prepared to state that Barack Obama is the Democratic frontrunner,  although not by much. Although according to most counts, Obama’s 1,208 delegates gives him a slight edge over Clinton’s 1,185, 23 delegates does not a frontrunner make. What makes a frontrunner is a lead in delegates with the likelihood of increasing that lead over time, momentum, fundraising, and increasing support among a range of groups (especially those groups that formerly supported the other candidate). Obama has all three of these traits:
