And that is bad news for Hillary, imo. Because Obama has the more energized supporters. In a primary election with lower participation turnout is even more important. I think it could be a big night for Obama. My hunch is Obama 52, Clinton 48.

1. I'm sure that HRC's supporters are
aware of the importance of this primary. Many may have voted early (if that's permitted in PA) or by absentee. I just feel they'll make the extra effort to make sure they vote since the outcome is crucial.

2. Hillary is going to be in Philly tomorrow night
I don't think she would schedule a rally in Pennsylvania unless she was confident about her prospects in the state. Obama will have left for Indiana by then. That means he is less optimistic, though someone correctly pointed out that he has gone onto the next state at times even when he has won. But the fact that she is not leaving the state tells me she is confident.

3. The question is: Where is Bill? He is often the one to give her
non-concession speech after a Clinton loss.

5. Turnout is the only thing that will beat Rendell/Diebold.
PA voters: Do not buy their excuses! Don't leave until you have voted. Keep the goddamned polls open until 4 AM, if you have to. Just watch Rendell try to close 'em. He'd be thrown out on his ass before he had his morning coffee.
