Hill By Ten in the Keystone State

The Margin. Hillary won by ten in Pennsylvania today. Ten was as far out as the polls were willing to take her. I was thinking 12 because the polls have been undercounting Hillary in the states she's won. But the Zogby and Suffolk were right and I was wrong.

Keeping On Keeping On. I think it's clear that Hillary should push on. It's evident that Barack Obama is just as capable of self-destructing under pressure as the next politician. So, there's no reason why Hillary shouldn't keep applying the pressure.

The Focus of the Battle. Still the question concerning Democrats now is whether Barack Obama is the guy we really want. Curiously enough, Hillary has finally crossed the presidential plausibility threshold. Even though she's seemingly on the verge of defeat, Hillary has emerged as the default candidate if Obama fails the still lengthy series of tests in front of him. But the nomination is Obama's to lose now.

Wishing for Wish Fulfillment. I'd like to see both Obama and Hillary focus more on what they're going to do as president and I'd like to see the media cover that story as well as the attacks on each other.

Well, I can always dream.
