In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Obama is edging up on Hillary in Pennsylvania.
In this latest survey, one of the biggest shifts is among women who went from 54 - 37 percent for Clinton April 2 to 54 - 41 percent for her today. A look at other groups shows:
* White voters for Clinton 56 - 38 percent, down from 59 - 34 percent last week.
* Black voters back Obama 75 - 17 percent, compared to 73 - 11 percent.
* Men are for Obama 48 - 44 percent, compared to a 46 - 46 percent tie last week.
* Voters under 45 go with Obama 55 - 40, while older voters back Clinton 55 - 38 percent.
“With two weeks to go, Sen. Barack Obama is knocking on the door of a major political upset in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Obama is not only building on his own constituencies, but is taking away voters in Sen. Hillary Clinton’s strongest areas - whites including white women, voters in the key swing Philadelphia suburbs and those who say the economy is the most important issue in the campaign,” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
I wonder what the Clinton campaign will say once they pull a Memphis and blow the lead in the final two minutes? At this point it is truly flummoxing that Hillary Clinton is staying in the race. Even with the pundits blowing a hard wind at her back, the possibility of her actually winning the election will only serve to sunder the Democratic Party and hand the election to Senator McSame.
Not to mention the fact that the Clinton campaign is a comedy of errors, and if the old adage holds true that the administration will be run like the campaign, I don’t think anyone really wants to sit around and watch that unfold.
