Obama: Clinton can't catch up even with Pennsylvania winBarack Obama's campaign just sent out a memo to reporters trying to set the benchmark for tonight's results in Pennsylvania.
Because of the state's demographics, her family ties, and the support of the Democratic establishment, "by rights she should win big."
"Behind in delegates and sporting a
14-30 primary record (not good enough even to make the playoffs in the NBA Eastern Conference), the Clinton campaign needs a blowout victory in Pennsylvania to get any closer to winning the nomination," the memo asserts.
"But as he has done in every state, Senator Obama campaigned hard and tapped into the hunger for change at grassroots, looking to pick up as many delegates as possible. Old-fashioned, shoe-leather campaigning, in the face of unrelenting negative attacks from Senator Clinton, substantially closed a once-formidable gap."
