If only...
...the system was different Hilary would have done better..blah blah blah...We've all heard this kind of rhetoric before - you know the losers lament. Spin it anyway that you want but the fact is Pennsylvania was supposed to be Hilary's state - but she suffered a MASSIVE erosion of support there. Still I'll give Hilary credit for one thing - she's very good at sound bytes. Her we've 'turned the tide' is an effective metaphor for a phenomenum that were it true summons up a neat mental graphic image of a sharply waning trend.
Trouble is in her case the exact OPPOSITE is the case from an earlier high of a 40+ point lead to an estimated 25% around Christmas culiminating in a REALITY of a single digit win in less than four months - represents an erosion of support on a catastrophic scale!
That is the reality she faces and only her stubborness and her disregard for all else (including what is good for the party she has hitched her wagon to)except the realisation of her naked ambition at all costs prevents her from wise action.
The press is unlikely to pressure her too much to step down - after all it's a long way to november and the 'fight' simply generates too much controversy (and therefore interest and intruigue)for them to be too loud about the obvious course she should take.

@KateTex
...BTW, this just in: According to Terry McAuliffe, speaking on MSNBC, Hillary's campaign has raised not only $10 million since last night's win...
Shhhh Kate - didn't you know that $10 million is also the amount that she already owes to supporters of her campaign....

Yes She Did What?
She's broke. Even if she got 10 mil, which people are claiming is a flat out lie, it's only 5 mil because of her debt. That's not going to last long.
Every fight since she went with the kitchen sink strategy has demonstrated a steady loss of support wherever she goes, yet she still insists on doing it. Obama supporters lose more respect for her every day that goes by and I suspect she's ruining her chances of reelection to the senate with NYers.
The only way she will win the nomination is through a political miracle or a historic tragedy. Regardless, history will not remember her fondly. You can change the goalposts all you want. It doesn't change the fact that she's universally hate by the GOP, independents and now the Obama supporters too.
The politicos know that Obama has already caused a shift in the political landscape. Why do you think McCain is scrambling to get the North Carolina's RNC people to quit with the negative ad campaign?

Why no coverage of this trial re the Clintons?
This is not really related to the article but I wonder why no-one is talking about the hearing tomorrow in Los Angeles?
It seems tailor-made for the Republicans if by some arm twisting she becomes the Democratic nominee.
