...lack of money. The latest fund-raising reports show she was more than $10 million in debt going into April, mostly to her high-priced campaign consultants, and local vendors are starting to complain about unpaid bills. And all that red ink was booked before the expensive sprint through Pennsylvania. It was telling that Clinton opened her Philadelphia victory speech with a fund-raising pitch; more than $5 million poured into her coffers by noon the next day. But she is not likely to keep up that pace. "Watch the money more than anything else," says a top Obama campaign...
...that four of the five Indiana House Democrats - all of them superdelegates - have remained uncommitted in the race. While the Clinton campaign's internal polling shows Obama ahead, two sources say, she is beginning to close the gap. Working-class whites, who accounted for her victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania, number high among the undecided in Indiana. She also runs stronger with conservatives, which helps in a state that hasn't voted Democratic in a presidential race since 1964. If Clinton manages to stage a comeback in the Hoosier State, she is almost certain to continue in the race until...
...This election," Bill Clinton said in the hours before the Pennsylvania primary, "is too big to be small." It was a noble sentiment, succinctly stated, and the core of what Democrats believe - that George W.

...Hillary Clinton won a convincing victory in Pennsylvania, but it came at a significant cost to the Clinton family's reputation and to the Democratic Party. She won by throwing the "kitchen sink" at Obama, as her campaign aides described it. Her campaign had been an assault on Obama's character flaws, real and imagined, rather than on matters of substance. Clinton also suffered a bizarre self-inflicted wound, having reimagined her peaceful landing at a Bosnian airstrip in 1996 as a battlefield scene complete with sniper fire. After six weeks of this, according to one poll...
...especially those without a college degree, had about a young, inexperienced African-American guy with an Islamic-sounding name and a highfalutin fluency with language. And worse, it raised questions among the elders of the party about Obama's ability to hold on to crucial Rust Belt bastions like Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey in the general election - and to add long-suffering Ohio to the Democratic column...
