1.Pennsylvania: Clinton Is Alive and Kicking—And Threatening To Tear the Party Apart?
Even though Clinton won Pennsylvania doesn't mean that the race is over, Obama still has a chance. Clinton is planning on going the whole race and with this win she has more money to put towards advertising her campaign.

2.McCain on the Housing Crisis: Quick, Do Nothing!
McCain didn't have any reaction to the Housing Debit crisis; he didn't really even say anything about it. It seemed as though McCain only gave advice about it, not what he plans to do or anyways to help the US redeem itself.

3.The Clintons Campaign New Math
Clinton is trying to get the electoral college to look at who wins with the delegates. Even though Obama has won most of the states, Clinton has won many of the Big states which count just as much if not more.

4.Black and More than Black
Obama gave a speech on racism and hatred in the US that is still going on today. But when he was talking about jobs for all, and proper education to all children he wasn't trying to play the race card at all.

5.Hilary Clintons Little Noticed Isreal Problem
Clinton had said that Isreal is should be somewhat under jewish influence. While Obama is more of anti-jewish. Most presidents before had said that Jeruslam should be left to Negotiations between the two main religious/ethnic groups.


6. Newsweek: Obama or Clinton: Which Candidate can Best Take on McCain?--Because Obama and McCain are so different, Obama has a higher chance of beating McCain than Clinton does. Obama will bring about economic and foreign policy change and has alwyas been opposed tot he war in Iraq.

7. Time: A Primary with No End--Clinton's win in Pennsyvania makes the race go on. Reublicans are excited that the Democrats have not picked a nominee yet because as long as the two candidates keep arguing, it increases the Republicans chance of winning the Presidency, again. She is still claiming that she has a higher chance at beating McCain than Obama, but many experts do not believe that. Her campaign is in need of money, but it will continue until at least June.

8. The Washington Monthly: Political Animal: The McCain Bubble--Polls that match Obama and Clinton vs. McCain have McCain at a 45% chance of winning. Although he is a likable candidate, he is not as strong as many think it is and when it comes time for the Election in November, he will probably lose to the Democratic candidate.


9. US News and World Report: Many Women Don't feel Obligated to vote for Clinton--A recent poll says that only 22% of women feel like they have to vote for Clinton just because she is female. Overall, Obama has won more of the female vote than Clinton. In the states that Obama won the women vote, he also took the state. Women over 50 tend to vote for Cliton, but younger women, of which there are more, vote Obama.


10. The New Republic: The Next McGovern--Obama's weakness as a general candidate grows stronger with each primary. Although he is winning the popular and delegate vote, and Hillary has no chance of taking that away from him, he may not be able to beat McCain, so the superdelegates may give the nomination to Clinton.
