She's not going to win by 30 points. Despite Fast Eddie's special sauce, Phila. and Pitts. will come out big for Obama. Unions used to hold sway in PA, but no more. There isn't a large Hispanic population in PA, so Hillary can't count on that. Don't discount a big GOP crossover to vote Obama. I'm considering it myself, but want to wait another week or so and see how the polls shake out. If it stays in single digits for Hillary, I won't bother.

Pennsylvania is a closed primary...you can't crossover in that state.

This is going to play out to some kind of devastating scenario for the Dems no matter what. It's all so even, all the way to May in the popular vote. Someone would have to graciously leave the race to stop the threat of division...(hint hint).

Crossover was a poor choice of words. What I meant is that you can change your party affiliation by March 22 (30 days prior) so lots of Republicans may change to Democrat to vote for Obama, then change back to GOP after the primary. But then you couldn't vote for local and state GOP candidates.
