CNN Poll Ticker - Obama chipping away at Clinton's Pennsylvania lead
(CNN) — Barack Obama continues to chip away at Hillary Clinton's lead in the crucial state of Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll out Tuesday shows.

The New York senator's lead over Obama now stands at 6 points in the new poll, 50-44 percent. That compares to the 9 point lead Clinton held in a similar survey released 5 days ago, and an 11 point lead in a Quinnipiac survey late last month

4. I just finished reading that article (before you posted it). Did you see her new Obama-like ad?

"Scranton" (Scranton Market)
TV :30

Hillary Clinton: This is me in Scranton, where my father was raised, and my grandfather worked in the lace mill.

Every August, we'd pile into the car and head to our cottage on Lake Winola.

There was no heat, or indoor shower-just the joy of family.

I was raised on pinochle and the American dream.

I still have faith in that dream

It's just been neglected a little.

We all need to dream it again

And I promise we will.


I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

5. I don't get it.
She went camping every August at the family cottage, and that means... she grew up deprived of everything but pinochle & dreams?

"I still have faith in that dream. It's just been neglected"... implies SHE's neglected it.

What sloppy writing & message! Of course it's not HER message, so no wonder she got it wrong.

11. Indeed he may be able to turn it into a win!
Tho if he keeps it within 10 percent Clinton will virtually lose because the blowouts needed in remaining states to tie Obama will grow to even more impossible levels.

If he keeps it within 5 percent he MAY be able to walk away with a net delegate gain.

10. He's outspending her 4 - 1 and all he's doing is chipping?
She must be tough. Send him some more money.

Pennsylvania thanks you.

12. Don't worry. We will send him more money. Too bad she's going to blow the little she has left in
PA. She won't have any left for NC etc.

14. He could outspend her 10-1 and that does not mean a win rug. It is solid Clinton Territory.
And I mean SOLID

A month ago I did not see one post or one pundit saying he could even approach a win in PA. People almost completely accepted that PA was going to be a BIG Clinton win.

You can't spin this.

18. I dunno. I see lots of spinning in GDP, like if she gets less than 70% she should quit.
It's not me spinning that. And a little correction, Pennsylvania is solid Democratic territory. That's why she does well here.

21. That is not spin that is math.
She already needs blowouts to tie Obama.

Without a big blowout in PA that percentage she needs in remaining states goes UP. So she loses overall.

She needs to tie Obama in delegates to even have a serious chance for the supers to put her over the top. As the supers so far have been going Obama and not Clinton.

28. Surprise! Surprise!
He better be chipping away or he is wasting many, many millions.

Rah! Rah! I bought more lettuce with my 5 bucks than you did with your nickel. Wow, look at me...I'm more successful than you. Funny how money talks. Especially when you use propaganda and brain washing techniques...er I mean advertising. He'd be one sick puppy (Is that racist?) if he didn't gain some votes.
