Obama will Win Indiana, North Carolina and every post PA State by at least 35-40 points.
Because like I said a week and half ago or so, Obama will win PA and she will drop out the following day. Obama is really surging in PA, and I predict that will continue with Obama coming away with a narrow defeat in PA. Clinton will drop out and this race will be over. Obama will win the remaining races overwhelmingly, being the only person still in the race.

1. I'd be surprised if Clinton dropped if she loses PA
She's a tough ol' bird. I'll give her that.

3. If she loses there, and she probably won't, she will have to drop out.

4. I disagree. It's the biggest state remaining.
I'm not predicting an Obama victory in PA, but if he goes from about 20 points behind there to winning (both delegates and popular vote), then I think Hillary Clinton will drop out.

6. I have never experienced a politician like HRC before....
I would be foolish to predict her next move. It is kind of like predicting what a person afflicted with turrets syndrome will say next.

2. For people hoping for a surprise Obama win in Pennsylvania...
...now is a good time to donate to the Obama campaign:

5. hnmnf,
Do you really think setting this bar so high is reasonable, or a good idea? I really don't expect a win from Obama in PA--I think it's great that he's cut into her lead so deeply, but a win is really a lot to expect, if PA is like OH, which most people agree upon. I still think a single-digit LOSS is a win for Obama, and if he got within 5, I'd be ecstatic. I don't expect another Wisconsin--from what I've read, the two states are quite different.

9. I'm not in the campaign, so I dont need to raise or lower expectations
I said a week or two ago I thought hed win by 1, and this was when he was down 12-19 points in the polls. I think the same will happen.

12. Well, I guess we'll see then!
Perhaps if the PA people can GOTV in a major, major way in the cities, we could see something surprising.

BTW, I never THOUGHT you were part of the campaign, just a DU member like the rest of us.

11. I hear you
a single digit win by her would be a loss. I don't think we will see a similiar situation to OH here. OH got hoodwinked over Nafta, and the truth is out now.

16. My concern is over another last minute stunt.
That the Globe & Mail said it was Hillary's camp that was a wink-wink over Nafta, in addition to the Canadian gov't pulling that fast one-only to be retracted after the primary, could be the Clinton's are involving themselves in creating some of this double-dealing. Note how Colombia criticized Obama after Penn visited.

Obama is nimble, so let's see how bad the Clintons can make this round of primaries. We political junkies are aware of all the missteps, but I don't think the public is, voting for Hillary with blinders on.

17. Those things can always happen, you never know when or if they will
But I think the last minute things will be dominated by the final debate, for which I think Obama will do very well.

7. And then lose...
Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania in the general election. I bet John McCain prays every night that Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

20. Oh and after that happens since McCain and Clinton are good buddies
they can get together for a drink. Then they can talk about how the freshman senator kicked both of their butts.

26. Obama will win the general

He's is tied in the polls with McCain in MI and OH, beats him in PA and also beats him in some
red states.

29. If McCain is praying for Obama to win, he is the only Republican doing so.
Every Republican I know is dying to unleash the dogs on Hillary.

10. I heard only 7 million of the 20 million she raised could be used in the primary
though the Clinton's have plenty of money.

25. I love Dawn French!

The Vicar of Dibley is my favorite comedy show.

On the topic- it doesn't look like she's planning to drop out before
the convention. Bill's in Puerto Rico right now (their primary is in
June).

27. No. West Virginia would vote for Ronald Reagan's dead body before they'd vote for Obama.
