Obama gaining on Clinton in Pennsylvania
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/08/democrats.pennsylvania/index.html

Sen. Barack Obama continues to chip away at Sen. Hillary Clinton's lead in the crucial state of Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll out Tuesday showed.

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 five days ago, and an 11-point lead in a Quinnipiac survey late last month.

Specifically, Clinton has lost ground among white voters and men: She now holds an 18-point lead among whites, down from a 25-point gap in last week's poll, and trails Obama by 4 points among males.

2. Hillary doesn't pay attention to polls
She said so. And I believe her.


Can't talk now, there's sniper fire in my living room.

5. Thank goodness she spoke out about the Iraq war
Before Obama. She's clearly the anti-war candidate.

7. Oh YEAH....
...when Hillary stood on the Senate Floor--in the Iraq-war run up--and said that there
were Saddam-Al Queda ties, and also that Saddam was most likely reconstituting his nuclear
weapons program-----that was so totally anti-war!

Her anti-war-ness is so....amazing.

To vote with the neocons and spew their talking points--so anti-war. Totally.

Then, when she voted for Kyl/Lieberman ---again, does it get any more anti-war than that?

She's like a buffet of anti-war behaviors--each one more delicious than the next.

:sarcasm:

10. She's not full of empty of empty rhetoric and lame ass hope
Look at that record you posted. Can the Goddess of Peace do no wrong?

Methinks, nay.

11. To call Hillary the Goddess of Peace...
...is like calling Jeffrey Dahmer a master chef.

6. The pollster...
...all of the people who work for the pollster, and all of the people who were polled--must
really hate women.

Right Elton?

9. It really does seem that things are currently hovering between 3-8 percent Clinton lead.
I don't think Clinton is going to get out of that low number because she is showing no signs in my view of getting out of this downward roller coaster of scandal.

Obama stands a good chance of winning PA or walking away with a net delegate gain at this rate.
