After Pennsylvania: Now What?

It ain't over -- again. Hillary Clinton pulls out a win in Pennsylvania and sends Barack Obama and superdelegates a double-digit message: Don't count me out.

The political brawl now heads to Indiana and North Carolina. On paper, the math and money favor Obama. Less clear now is which candidate has the mojo and momentum, and what the super delegates are thinking.

Listen to an On Point discussion about what just happened in Pennsylvania and what's next.

How do you interpret Hillary Clinton's double digit win in Pennsylvania? Major momentum changer? Or change nothing at all? What does Barack Obama need to do to close the deal for the nomination?

I do not think that things have changed at all. Obama made some mistakes which the other side exploited. These things are to be expected in politics. It will be interesting to see if Clinton has any momentum to carry forward or not. I suspect that neither candidate has a superior amount of momentum at this time.

Now they split the remaining of the states. Clinton did her last damage last night. Luckily for Obama, Indiana is on the same date as NC. There are only 311 delegates left, time is running out.

I think he pissed penn. off and that's why hillary won. If she can get him to do it again she might win. lol

Clinton's win is not double digit. I can't believe that a renouned radio program like NPR is inaccurate on this point, and follows the mainstream press without checking the numbers first. According to http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ Clinton's win is unambiguously under 10%. Everything under 10% is not double digits. Please be accurate in your reporting.
