Polls Trending Up To Quickly In Pennsylvania Might Work Against Obama
The Mediawhores will take incoming, newer polls that show him closing the gap to within 5 and make it seem like less of an accomplishment if he doesn't win.

Just like they did in Ohio and Texas.

Now the Mediawhores acknowledge she needs to win big. But they will change that narrative soon. Just watch.

Let's not forget- Hillary is using the pre-existing Democratic Party Machinery in all the big states.

Obama has had to go in and build from the ground up.

So even with more money... he's still started with disadvantages.

1. Ultimately, who was it who actually won Texas? We don't hear about that though.
Obama does not need to win Pennsylvania to "win".

5. if the polls show him within 5, they'll spin his loss against him.

11. Let them spin away. He was never expected to win no matter what the final margin may be.
Ultimately, there are only two arguments to determine the race: who has the most popular votes or who has the most delegates. The more popular votes that Obama gets, the better it is for him. The more delegates he wins, the better it is for him.

2. Rendell was on this morning saying...
...Hillary winning big is now 5 to 7 points.

9. How long before he says she was never expected to win PA?
Whenever that is, it will be followed by the claim that Obama winning by less than 20 points is proof that voters are having second thoughts about him.

3. The reason they say she needs to win big is because they believe its a delegate race
So I disagree.

4. I agree. I don't want him gaining any more in the polls
Because she has the whole state Democratic machine and both big city mayors behind her, so she probably has the better ground game in this case, making it likely that she will outperform the polls a little bit. Gaining in the polls ups the ante. I am glad to see him gaining but don't want any polls coming out showing him winning or even in a dead heat.

8. On the other hand, it's a big boost to those of us volunteering in PA...
For Obama. We're in our volunteer recruitment phase and the fact that a win now looks like it *might* be possible is going to help us out a lot.

10. Ppfffft! If he wins PA it's over-over. Polls trending down too quickly for Clinton are good.
Sniper-gate is still taking its toll.
