...written and directed by Saturday Night Live scribe Michael McCullers, dares to imagine that somewhere in this world of carelessly, ceaselessly fertile females there might be one woman who wants a baby but can?t have it. Her name is Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey), she?s 37, lives in Philadelphia, has an OK job working for a goofy whole-foods guru (Steve Martin), yet feels somehow empty: no man, no marriage and especially no baby. ?I just don?t like your uterus,? her gynecologist (John Hodgman) tells her, adding that Kate has a one-in-a-million chance...

...Clinton could be excused for engaging in that bit of wishful thinking herself. The win capped off a final week of campaigning in which she was remarkably focused and upbeat, particularly during an endurance swing through Scranton, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia on Monday. She prevented Obama from running away with votes in upscale suburban counties like Bucks and Montgomery. The victory gives her one last chance to convince donors to invest in her cause - a cause that even with the victory is in dire need of new funding.
