That's the bottom line.....a win - sure.  Moral victory - absolutely.   In the end - too little too late.

All it does is add to her portfolio the key states needed to win a general election.  If by the convention neither candidate has enough delegates to claim victory out-right, she will make her argument that Obama can't win the big states which will be needed for a Dem victory in November.  Flawed, but it will be her best argument.

Flawed indeed.  He can't "win" the big states against her....but PA was certainly no blowout, nor was OH or TX.  Those same droves of Dems will be out in November.  He has a very good chance.

Also, the Indies couldn't vote in PA.....he's not unpopular among them to be sure.

I also hear there's Republicans in PA, somewhere, but they probably don't matter.

One other thing:  Of course, it's too little, too late, but you have to stop thinking linearly about these things.
