Obama can't close the deal
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?
By Walter Shapiro [2008-04-23]

  • @HP

    And the Urban Black Vote is also smart. They know that it would be in their best interest to vote for Clinton in the general. And if it makes them happy... everyone in the Democratic Party expects Obama to have a long future with them from now on -- his speech in response to the Wright controversy ensured that. This I have stated in another old post.

    But should he win the nomination and lose the general -- especially if it is a landslide (winner-takes-all Electoral College, remember?) -- that future would not be so assured.
