Hillary Clinton is doing exactly what she needed to do in Pennsylvania. She needed something like a "double-digit" finish over Barack Obama to prove that she's more electable than he. With 88% of the precincts reporting, Hillary has that double-digit lead.
The fact of the matter is Obama isn't getting the votes he needed in the counties surrounding Philadelphia (Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, and Chester). He needed to get a shitload of votes in those counties and even in the ones he won, it just didn't happen.
The irony is hearing the reporters who were saying she couldn't do it. Now that she's done it, they're moving the goal post. Now the problem is that she doesn't have enough money or she's not likable enough. When she's the nominee, the money will come rushing in...and likable or no, she's more electable than Barack Obama, especially in bellwether states (like, uhhhh, Pennsylvania).
And I'm really sick of hearing Larry Kane on KYW, who obviously doesn't like Hillary Clinton. I don't know if he's a Republican but he's certainly a Hillary-hater. The anchor on tonight actually had to argue with him (albeit, through a forced smile). Kane obviously has a horse in this race. Local celebrity or not (and regardless of this political season, I'd vote "no"), he shouldn't be covering this race.
