Lost in all the big media coverup of the significance of Hillary Clinton's victory in the Pennsylvania primary, is the fact that Barack Obama hasn't won a primary since Feb. 22. Hillary won Texas and Ohio, the last ones held, and now Pennsylvania.
Those three are all big, crucial states for Democratic chances in November, and Barack lost them all. No matter how hard the major media pump for Obama, a substantial segment of the party isn't buying it and this thing is still a horse race. The fact is that the main states Obama has won in primaries are Republican states in a general election, while the ones Hillary won are the key Democratic states that they must win to win a general election. Who is the more electable candidate in November?
It's said that the Democrats fall into, and out of, love quickly. So it was in nominating George McGovern, Michael Dukakis and John Kerry--three of the weakest candidates the party has ever nominated. Now it is on the verge of falling in love with Barack Obama, who cannot carry the major Democratic states where the election is won or lost.
The voters have issued one last warning that Barack won't do. Are the superdelegates listening?
