Obama trims Clinton's lead in Pa.

[Ned_Devine]

PHILADELPHIA - Sen. Barack Obama was endorsed Wednesday by a labor union and two Democratic superdelegates, as a poll showed he has cut Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania almost in half since mid-February as he strives to deny her a resounding victory in the state's presidential primary.

The Illinois senator peeled off an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has endorsed Clinton. The Philadelphia-based local of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees has about 16,000 members.

Its president, Henry Nicholas, announced the endorsement while introducing Obama at a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.

7. I used to say if he keep keep it to single digits.

Yet I think that with this wonderful day he has a good shot at reducing it to 5 percent and a with it better chance at actually getting a small net delegate gain like texas.

And we still have weeks to go!!

Time is something Clinton does not need when it comes to this state. As Obama talks he draws in support and cuts Clinton strongholds into ties.

If Clinton wins by 20% And picks up lots of delegates the race is still on in my view.
If Clinton wins just 5% it is a disaster for her campaign.
If Clinton wins under 5% and Obama walks away with a net delegate lead it is over beyond any stretch. As if Obama can turn it into a win in delegates there is nothing Clinton can say about who is more electable. As Obama can come back from expected loss states and turn them into wins.

So we have some weeks. Let us continue to expose Clinton for what she really is and do what we can to get out the vote!

8. Just under 3 weeks to continue narrowing...

...the question is; how much crunk are they going to try to throw at Obama while he continues to focus on McCain as well as winning over PA voters?

9. let them, as we've seen, the more negative they become, the better Obama does

they're apparently incapable of understanding that dynamic.

those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

10. I still say, just within single digits is really good for Obama.

Anything better is icing, but I wouldn't count on it at all.
