but more and more the arguments coming out of the Hillary Camp and from the more "enthusiastic" supporters seem to come from some bizzaro world, like trying to argue with a scientoligist.

There is something thing in the air. The Goddess of Peace is about to show the world."
"25-30% in PA followed by a flood SD's jumping ship to Hillary, topped off by the greatest triumph of all. NC"
I shit you not.
It is starting to look like the last day of Enron.
Maybe the 100k a DAY they pay Penn is some bizzaro slush fund or giant pyaramid scheme payout.

Politics is like driving. To go backward, put it in R. To go forward, put it in D. 89 days until the '08 elections. Let's paint the country BLUE!

I get Philly stations. It's all Obama, all the time. Seriously. I don't think I've heard one word from Hilary, or much of anything about her that wasn't negative, in a week.
Her name is mentioned on NPR, and in the news, but it's always mentioned in the same breath as Obama, and HE is the news. HIS rallies. HIS speeches.
And you see HIS commercials. Not hers.
One other thing - they keep hitting on this 'middle/lower class white voters won't vote for him' stupidity. It has GOT to be making a lot of those people pissed, because they're NOT racists. But the news keeps making them sound like they're all KKK members who wouldn't ever consider voting for somebody who's black - when most of them HAVE voted for black candidates at some point.
Remember, Philly stations reach most of the eastern half of PA, and that's where the bulk of the population is.
I think the results are going to surprise a lot of people. Hilary most of all.

O is getting endorsements and those are important local news stories.
HRC has made a lot of missteps lately and those are also news.
You see Obama commercials because he's got the money to run them and she is broke.
He's also the frontrunner and the presumptive nominee, so it does make sense that he would get the bulk of the coverage.
And it is a fact that the demographic you mention is largely favoring Hillary. why they won't vote for him is in question--no one will ever know how much of it is attributable to race.
