LA Times: Clinton's Pennsylvania victory doesn't do much for her odds

[LTR]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's victory in the Pennsylvania primary today spared her once again from a forced exit from the Democratic presidential race, but she still faces long odds in her bid to defeat Sen. Barack Obama.

A narrow win -- say 6 percentage points or less -- would put new pressure on Clinton to drop out of the race, even if she escaped the death blow that a Pennsylvania loss would certainly have inflicted. A double-digit win would ease that pressure and give her momentum for the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

Even with the Pennsylvania win, Clinton still trails by nearly every measure: the popular vote, the number of states won, the delegates captured so far in primaries and caucuses. Obama also has narrowed Clinton's once-formidable lead in superdelegates to roughly two dozen.

Clinton faces "an uphill climb," said political scientist Quin Monson of Brigham Young University, because she must urge superdelegates to support her even though Obama remains ahead by those key measures.

"The best money is still that this just forestalls her exit from the race and draws out the nomination fight longer," Monson said.
