Pennsylvania and North Carolina

Clinton's campaigning there, starting today, is designed in part to cast it as the big showdown that sould define the next six weeks; Obama would prefer the state have less emphasis.

I'd meant to link this Friday, but First Read's point here is fair:

Speaking of upcoming contests, the press has completely bought into Pennsylvania as the next big contest. But there's another very large delegate prize two weeks later -- North Carolina. What's interesting about the two states is that one is a Clinton stronghold (PA) and one is an Obama stronghold (NC). Both campaigns are trying to downplay the other state, but shouldn’t we be judging the two together? Who performs better on the other's turf?

That's because the MSM is busy spinning Hillary's negative momentum as a victory.
