Why are all the talking heads saying that PA is the next contest?
Aren't the Mississippi primary and the Wyoming caucus before then?

Anyone who thinks the media has been biased against Hillary is living in a dreamworld.

Mississippi is obviously an Obama stronghold

So it's not going to count. Only the "big states" matter.

5. Because PA is the next large state - that's all.
It's not because it gives Hillary an advantage, it's just got a decent # of delegates.

6. Remember, Hillary referred to PA as the "next state" after March 4.
So she forgot they existed, or they don't matter.

8. But can the delegate spread in PA be much more than that of MS and WY?

10. Because Wyoming & Mississippi
Have 45 delegates combined while PA has 158. They'll have no appreciable impact by comparison and no more than a passing mention in the media.
