Blue State, White Sheets and Blue Collars
While the pundits try to figure out what Hillary's victory in PA means, I'll offer my take. Pennsylvania is not representative of America. Governor Ed Rendell said himself that the white voters in PA were not ready to elect an African American. Did he mean to say that people should vote for Hillary because the residents of his state are a bunch of bigots or was he just stating a fact? It is not something to be proud of if you're from PA. It is not representative of America as evidenced by the fact that Obama is leading in the national polls as well as the popular vote based on the primaries so far. Honestly, this says more about PA than it does about Obama. Well, now that the primary is over, they can go back to their guns, bibles, bowling and Rolling Rocks as the rest of America moves forward.

A few other thoughts:
Of course, this win was good for Hillary because it keeps her in the race. It will help her raise money. It may also be a momentum shifter in future contests.
Barack is not going anywhere. She can't overtake him in delegates.
PA is a Democrat only primary. Obama has more support from independents and recovering Republicans, both of whom could not voteo for him in this primary. What does this mean? It means that Hillary will have trouble in the general election.
There are those saying "why can't Obama close the deal?" Why can't Hillary close the deal? She was the front runner before people even knew Barack Obama's name. She is still the titan and he is the underdog. He just happens to be in the lead.
Hillary and Bill are despicable. They will stop at nothing to ruin the candidacy of Barack Obama so that she can challenge John McCain in 2012 (or whomever is the Republican candidate 4 years from now). If she ruins the Dems chances this time it will be sweet justice if America has had enough of the Clinton's and by 2012 she's writing "It Takes A Village, Part 2." and he spends his time filling in for Regis Philbin. Read the New York Times editorial today. They look like they're on the verge of withdrawing their support of that mean-spirited bitch.
