The prediction of an Obama victory in Pennsylvania seems badly off-base to me.

Three weeks is a long way to go and if the Clinton campaign keeps up their ineptness, I don't see it as so badly off-base. Certainly Pennsylvania is an uphill battle for him, but I wouldn't count him out yet. ;)
I don't see him doing it. Too many "low info" voters, if you'll forgive the phrase. Within 10 should be an optimistic goal.
That was awesome.
She's too square. True.
I think it depends on, to coin a Clintonian phrase, what the definition of victory is.
The Clintons were supposed to *own* PA...if they win by 10 points or less, isn't that a victory?
Since their *blowout* victory in Ohio only netted them 9 delegates, it sure seems a victory to me as they are 157 delegates behind. I suspect the superdelegates will see it the same way.
Also, the Maggie Williams/sub prime mortgage connection and the non payment of bills to little guy vendors puts quite a crimp in the stumping of being the candidate for the little guy doesn't it?
Add to that outright lying about every foreign affairs incident they have cited on the trail and I think the superdelegates will see the folly of voting against THEIR own interests even if the low information voters don't.

Last trend line chart I saw showed him doing his usual "close the gap" routine he's done everywhere. The gap looked bigger than in some other places, but there's time, right? Especially with Clinton flailing and looking less "Presidential" by the day - not to mention not being to pay her bills.
