I know this topic has already been beaten to fine paste everywhere including sajhaland, but the question still remains: who among Obama and Clinton is going to compete against the republican old man McCain in the coming presidential bid in November?
Today's primary in Pennsylvania is important for both of them, perhaps more so for Clinton. With just over a month to go before the completion of all nationwide primaries, here's what I feel about today's contest:
1) If Clinton loses, in my personal opinion, it's over for her.
2) If she wins, and by a hefty margin (say a double digit lead, like she did in Ohio), the fight is going all the way to the 'brokered' convention in August, unless Obama manages to literally crush the lady (:P) in NC and IN primaries next month (which is not very likely although Obama may walk away with wins there by slim margins)
3)If she manages to pull off a win by a small margin, say (5-7)%, we will still find ourselves in the same damn vicious circle as far as uncertainty is concerned but sooner or later, this is going to go in favor of Obama (again that's what I personally feel).
So, unless Clinton wins by a double digit lead, it's still Obama vs. McCain.
And this is my take (based on my gut feeling :P) :
Clinton is going to win by 9% (meaning one more or perhaps few more months of 'bitter' verbal exchange and plenty of drama to be showcased and unfolded)
