Clinton notches another do-or-die big-state win in Pennsylvania. Which is more troubling for Democrats -- her scorched-earth tactics or Obama's failure to build on his base?
  • for those of you proposing a winner take all system

    even assuming for the sake of the argument that in a winner take all system both candidates run the exact same campaigns (Senator Clinton goes for the biggies, Obama races for the smalls and the caucuses - not bloody likely):

    realize that results in Hillary Clinton having a majority of delegates (it is true, sorry Obama people), but losing in the popular vote by about 500,000 [as it stands right now]. every non-bushie should be having terrifying flashbacks to the 2000 electoral college. perhaps proportional voting fits more in line with the democratic nature of the democratic party, no? just throwin it out there.
