Although Clinton is ahead in polls, her lead is slipping in the crucial state

Hometown
Geez, how many hometowns is Hillary going to claim!? LOL!
next she is going to say that she grew up in Puerto Rico!?
Your Primary
This is the best analysis I've seen, the most informative, most balanced and most helpful to readers/watchers from outside your state.
It boggles the imagination how exhausted these two campaigns must be by now and how they must pace themselves for the whole summer, the convention, and both must, at least at this time, plan for beyond that to the general election.
It's just the most intense political theater we've seen in our lifetimes.
So it helps to have some calm analysis here and there.
Philadelphia Geography
Yo, Rocky Balboa was from South Philly, dummy.
Clinton
Leadership and taxes
“It’s important to have core principles and values, but if you’re going to be active in policy and politics, you have to be a realist.” —Hillary Clinton
“We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re going to cut short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” —Hillary Clinton, in a 2004 fundraising speech to wealthy liberals in San Francisco
Bipartisanship and reaching across the isle
“I believe in evil, and I think that there are evil people in the world.” —Hillary Clinton, in 1993, stating her opinion not of the terrorists who had just bombed the World Trade Center for the first time in 1993, but of those who opposed her health care reform plan
“You have got to hand it to them, these people are ruthless and they are relentless.” —Sen. Hillary Clinton, just a few months after 9/11, giving her opinion of Republicans
Health care
“We just can’t trust the American people to make these types of decisions. …Government has to make these choices for people.” —Hillary Clinton circa 1993, speaking to Rep. Dennis Hastert on the issue of who should control the allocation of money in her health care reform plan
“We can’t afford to have that money go to the private sector. The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better than the private sector will spend it.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1993, regarding health care reform
Free speech
“We’re all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gate-keeping function.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1998, days after the Monica Lewinsky story was reported
Blaming America
“I pledge allegiance to the America that can be.” —Hillary Clinton, reluctant to say the Pledge of Allegiance, according to Chris Matthews
“The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation.” —Hillary Clinton
Imagination
“The fact of the matter is, I’ve always been a Yankees fan.” —Senate candidate Hillary Clinton, soon after launching her campaign in 1999, and ignoring prior public statements about growing up as a Cubs fan in Chicago
funding
Online financing is easy to manipulate. Why is no one chasing the story of where all the money is REALLY coming from?
Not too mention the fact that the obscene amounts of money are what got Bush elected. People can be bought should be obama's real message. If he did not spend and spend and spend the media would not spin and spin and spin.
Those who say they want big change are not telling the truth. They want adjustments in the system that favors them. That is a huge difference from throwing out the babe with the bath water.
The bomb cannot give what he offers. It is just not realistic, nor does it sit within his power to give. Measured, selected, moderate options are known for having the greatest benefits.
It seems to me that men must FEAR that a woman president will HOLD men to account whereas a man will keep letting stuff slide by.
Men are known for glossing over everything with highflying words that are empty promises. This is high school tactics and everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid. This new freshman kid who wants something but has no real plan to give up anything for it.
Do people realize that it is the "male ego" that has lead us down this path we are now on? It is also not going to be lead us back form the edge anytime soon.
Hilary does not have to run but chooses to serve, Barack is nothing if he does not run - who would know or care about him without his money machine? He must run to inflate his ego about how great he wants to be.
In my own view women who do not vote for Hilary are the ones who want to date obama. They are the type to get married to be taken care of. They do not support other women but fearfully compete with them. They have been given the chance to support gender equality but instead show their side as imposters.
May the living God particle please help us.

Since Fla and Mich got stripped of their delegates shouldn't the total needed to clinch be lowered?

Obama’s Dubious Affiliations
There is no way a white man with the same background and credentials as Obama could ever be elected to any office in this country.
Look at Obama’s affiliations:
- Mr. Rezko is Obama’s long time friend and is a major mob figure.
- Mr. Auchi is a billionaire and major financial sponsor for Obama’s rise to power throughout the past years.
While working with Saddam Hussein, Auchi made his money through the sell of arms in Iraq and by stealing money from the Oil for Food program (no wonder Obama voted against invading Iraq)
- Senator Meeks who openly hates whites and gays and is listed on Obama’s campaign website as a major Obama supporter and backer and is one of Obama;s super-delegate. Mr. Meeks has been integral in helping Mr. Obama succeed in politics.
- Mr. Wright is a racist who hates America and whites with a Hitleresque approach to change. Mr. Wright has been Mr. Obama’s spiritual mentor for over 20 years. Before the media exposed Mr. Wright, Mr. Wright was on Obama’s campaign staff as Obama's chief religious advisor. Mr. Wright and Mr. Meeks are ideologically closer to Karl Marx and Black Nationalism, than to Christianity.
- Mr. Ayers of the Weather Underground, a group that killed police and tried to bomb the US Capitol, served with Obama on the board of the leftist foundation called the Woods Fund.
- Mr. McPeaks is Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman who claims that American Jews are the "problem." and “Christian Zionists were driving America's policy in Iraq to benefit Israel.”
- Michelle Obama trumpets Obama as “the second coming of the messiah,” and also states that she “has never been proud to be an AMERICAN in her adult life".
The list goes on…
How can Obama’s bad judgment to choose to affiliate with criminals and fanatics be justified?
Had Hillary Clinton had any of the above ghosts in her closet, she would have been thrown out of the election long ago.
Hey everybody - am I missing something here?
It seems to me that perhaps instead of electing Obama president, it would be easier if we just shot ourselves in our collective foot.
