Pennsylvania could well produce two winners -- if Sen. Barack Obama keeps it close enough (whatever that means) against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But it's a pretty sure bet that it's already produced enough to make the Democratic Party lose. (Would anyone like to argue that either Obama, D-Ill., or Clinton, D-N.Y., looks better for the experience of this overtime contest -- particularly these six weeks of Keystone campaigning/complaining?)

This has become nothing but a girl fight. Pulling hair, scratching, biting and kicking. They both look like a bunch of pubescent village idiots.
A beast victory will mean a McCain landslide over barack mcgovern in the general.
