If the superdelagates swamp to Obama before this is resolved knowing that Clinton won big in Florida the general will be a piece of cake for McCain. If Clinton by chance wins the nominee she will lose Obama supporters, but thats no big deal because she will mostly lose the young vote and gain back the middle age and elders that are supporting him so it will be a wash.

If Hillary wins in Pa after Obama spends an enormous amount of money on TV ads, this definitely has to say something.

Wake up people – Take another look at Obama. He's not what he says he is. Media covering alot up.

America lives on sound bites and that is all Obama gives to us. He has no national experience and if he wins the Democratic nomination, that will be as far as he goes because his ads have already been seen by most of us and in the General Election, he will need to show us more than talk and speeches, then he loses because we all know he knows nothing about WDC and its politics. All of his ideas are Hillary's (or from the Clinton Administration) which he changed slightly to appear as if they are his own.

All the sweet talking and underhanded attacks are not working so he's going all out to buy votes. Spending in some cases 5-1 on ads and mailings. The money did not buy him victories in Ohio and Texas and so I imagine it will not buy him victories in PA. By the way, the latest SurveyUSA poll in PA is showing HIllary ahead 18 points....just in case the media cherry picks the polls that will only favor their golden boy.....who's actually smelling like a rotten egg....hee hee.
