Though you couldn't tell it from Obama's long and tiresome victory speech last night, Hillary actually won PA by 10 points, which sends this freakshow onward and keeps McCain free to concentrate on his own campaign and fundraising.

A quick review of the op-ed pieces listed over at Real Clear Politics shows that maybe there actually is a little hope for Clinton afterall. The tide of opinion seems to be turning against Obama. Here's a sample:

Obama: Wilting Over Waffles - Maureen Dowd, New York Times
Hillary Builds Her Case - Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard
Obama Can't Close the Deal - Walter Shapiro, Salon
A Bad Omen for Obama in the Fall - John Judis, The New Republic
Is Obama JFK or Adlai Stevenson? - E. J. Dionne, Washington Post

In politics, particularly in primaries, it is often about the media's turn of opinion. And right now, it seems to be turning from Obama. I don't know if that's a great thing or not. I don't believe there is any way that Obama can win the general election, but at least this keeps the fires burning for some time in this Democratic primary.
