Pressure’s on Hillary Clinton
To Win and Win Big
In Pennsylvania
* The Pennsylvania Primary *
Tuesday, April 22, 2008

ABCNews.com has this story out today and it begins like this... After six weeks of political backbiting, Pennsylvania voters have their say today in a primary vote that isn't expected to clarify what has become a dragged-out Democratic nomination battle between Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. With Clinton leading in polls in the state, her expected win could fuel questions about why Obama hasn't been able to sew up the nomination, despite having more money, having won more states and a lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates, according to ABC News' delegate scorecard... However, Democrats say, a small victory by Clinton today won't be enough to turn momentum in her favor. Any win by her, they say, must be by a large margin of victory...
