Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    November?

    I don't know what's going to happen in the primary, but the idea that McCain could carry Pennsylvania, or any other "blue" state for that matter is simply absurd. The fact is that McCain is getting a free ride up to this point because the press is distracted with Hillary Clinton as she looks though the Cliton Book of Dirty Tricks to find a way to win the nomination. Once Obama gets the nomination and can focus on McCain's deplorable record of enabling Bush at every turn there is no way we will have another Republican administration.
