The spin coming out of the Clinton campaign is so predictable. Howard Wolfson is full of it and he knows it. Hillary was expected to win PA by 20 pts or more. If she fails to win by such a margin tomorrow, then her campaign is a complete failure. It certainly doesn't help that her campaign is in debt.

This race is over May 6th if Obama sweeps Indy and NC. Othewise it's over June 3rd when the Superdelegates go to Obama.

All of this back and forth arguing is doing little more than hurting the party and will make it harder to bring it back together before the convention.

Spin little hamsters, spin, spin, spin! Do you like your hamster wheels? Hillary is losing, and the voters are more likely to rally around Obama as a Democratic nominee than around Hillary (remind me again - WHO is the most polarizing figure in American politics right now? Oh, yeah - its Hillary).

As for the outspending, that is just indicative of the fact that Obama has donations to spend - unlike Hillary. That means more people are actively engaged in his policies. Its not a $$ issue - its a likeability issue.

Its fine is she wants to stay in the race; Mitt Romney also donated to his campaign while he was on the way down. But to play these ugly Washington/Karl Rove-esque politics is just disgusting. Its a disgrace to the Clinton legacy.

With only minor policy differences between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the extended Democratic Primary race has devolved into nasty personal attacks, hurting our chances of winning in November. The candidates' negatives are up. Polls show the Democrats' advantages are disappearing against John McCain's continuation of Bush-Cheney fear mongering and failed economic principles. Petty arguments between the candidates are attempting to distract Pennsylvania voters from our real problems. Wednesday's debate in Philadelphia was a perfect example, with at least half the debate spent bickering over old news and verbal gaffes before debating anything Pennsylvanians actually care about. John McCain was the debate's big winner. We have a chance this Tuesday to stop John McCain's free ride to the White House. We need to unite behind the frontrunner and refuse to allow this contest to go all the way to the convention. We can send a strong message that we will not be distracted. Not this time! Vote for Barack Obama on April 22nd.

Shame on you MSN for giving her free press. That is why she is complaining about Obama. Her campaign is broke.

Pay for your own ads and while you are at it pleases pay the workers which worked for you in OH

stop repeating what you hear on the new, it doesn’t make u look good, it tell me that you are just reflecting idea of other person, be yourself and defend what you think with facts.

Hillary a liar? Well, do you forget that Obama denied four times on TV that his advisor talked with Canada government? OBAMA DENIED IT 4 TIMES,
OBAMA DENIED THAT HIS PASTOR SADI WHAT HE SAID,
OBAMA DENIED THAT HE WAS IN THE CHURCH
THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THOSE REMARKS
OBAMA DINIED THAT HE KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT
ALL WHAT HE SAID ABOUT IT LATER ON SHOW HOW LIER, MANIPULATIVE HE IS.

Don’t talk to me about lying, Obama is as liar as many other, what Clinton said about Bosnia was wrong, wrong wrong, but she did not tried to fix it, she apologized and that THAT IS WHAT OBAMA CANT DO, TO RECOGNIZE HIS MISTAKE AND SAID, I AM SORRY.

SO, who is more liar, who should I trust the most? The one who refute and change the subject or the one who recognize and said “I am sorry”? Give me a brake, and don’t be stupid.

UNFORTUNATELY THE CLINTONS ARE RIPPING THE DNC APART, SO IT'S AT ALL COSTS!

The Clinton's just don't understand that their strategy blooding up Sen. Obama hoping that he will loose against John McCain so she can run the following term will not work. She will only incurr the horrific win at all cost stragety raft from the majority of Americans if the RNC wins. We will thank her for the LOSS should it occur.

Meaning we will vote for anyone but Sen. Clinton should her and Pres. Clinton's plan work.

She and Pres. Clinton do not seem to understand that should the RNC win we will get more of the same when it could have been prevented.

Meaning more suffering economically and more lives lost and more of our heroes significantly injured for life.

Many just don't think they she and Bill get this.

I'll tell you 'First Read', since you refuse to put the Clinton spin into context,those primaries were 7 weeks ago, and she eventually lost Texas. Hillary's campaign is on 'Terminator' mode.

But to think that even if she wins by 1 point, it's a huge blow to Obama, is rediculous. Guys - please - don't allow her campaign to continue manipulating the goal-post right before primaries...this isn't the first time this has been done....call them on it and state your non-partisan messuring tool on "wins" and "losses"...

This primary as turned from a chance and hunger for hope, to bitter sweet garbage..it's slowly but surely heading back to old school politics, and I'm putting the blame on Clinton, even though Obama has contributed to it a bit, it's mostly the Clinton camp, and I still can't understand why. Thing is, I doubt she'd win against McCain because her credibility sucks about now. McCain is having credibility issues because he's simply a man of himself stuck with the republican label. I really think McCain and Obama both are genuine ppl, and as hard as it is to say, seeing that I support Obama, I think McCain would also bring something new to the table. Remember, he's trying to appeal to the republican base, so he has to have something in the game plan to make them happy, but he can reach across party lines, as with Obama..both guys are amazing. I think McCain and Obama should say screw both parties and run on an Independent ticket..they'd kill...

It is difficult to make a decision when listening to all that is said by the various people involved; all of the subterfuge and counter-subterfuge thrown around usually leaves you focused on the last thing you heard and wondering how much that matters. The trouble is that history has proven so much of it doesn't matter as when they get what they want they have an abundance of more subterfuge to rationalize why they weren't able to do as you thought they promised. Their character, honesty, sincerity and simply their quality would seem the only real indicators of future performance; if you can't trust them, then don't vote for them. Based on the history we have seen, I don't want anymore of GWBush policies/programs (McCain) and I don't want more of Washington as usual (Hillary).

I firmly believed that Sen. McCain would be by far a better President than Mr. Bush and that he's definetely more qualified than Sen. Clinton. So taking both Candidates praise for McCain, I'd rather have Obama's. McCain will definetely be an improvement. However, I see Sen. Cliton's remarks as downgrading the Democratic nominees. Meaning if you don't chose me, then your best option is McCain. Whereas Obama said even if McCain were to win, we would be better off with him than we'd been with Bush. Not entirely the same.

the only thing more frustrating than the Clinton campaign's inventing new metrics for judging who "won" is their continually changing the rules when their previous metrics don't hold

the Clinton campaign is a disaster - she would have easily won the nomination if she hadn't mismanged her own campaign . . . that's a small taste of what a Clinton administration would be like

Some choices he has made i. e going to Wright's church for 20+ years, going to the million man march and his "bitter" comment are just two indicators that Obama is not in the mainstream.

On the other hand, he could follow the Clinton strategy (or lack thereof) and only campaign in the states he knows ahead of time he'll win. But come to think of it, isn't that how Clinton dug herself the delegate hole she's currently in? Hmmmm.

Has the Clinton campaign noticed how Obama's candidacy has brought in hundreds of thousands of new voters and, as was written today, might be helping switch Pennsylvania to a Republican/swing state into a Democratic state?

There are no concerns about Obama's electability.

I think at this point if Obama manages to keep her under 10 points, then he's held some ground. PA has always been considered her territory. Of course, any sort of victory means we're in for another month rough and tough politics.

I mean c'mon...I really would vote for either Dem against McCain, but this can't be her campaign calling him weak/unelectable ("If you can't stand the heat...") and complaining about negative ads AT THE SAME TIME. That's absurdly hypocritical no matter who you support.

You will never hear about the Peter Paul/Clinton trial from First Read.

They have chosen to ignore it for over a month.

Chris Matthews is obviously running for office in PA or better yet a position in the Clinton Administration if she were to win the nomination and the presidency.
He has now become subjective instead of objective.
Perhaps he is going to team up with the governor

The only show I will watch in Keith Olbermann. He appears to be the only one who will state the facts.

Race for the White House especially if Morning Joe is on is another joke. Rachael Maddow on the other hand is objective. Joe thinks only his opinion counts and when he does not get his way he apparently leaves in a sulk.

We no longer have any good media coverage.

Everyone group is pushing their own agenda

I'm voting for Hillary the mighty oak. — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:52:02 GMT

Obama wants to tiptoe thru the tulips. He had one debate where he had tough questions and handled it badly. He is inept.

Obama has raised and spent millions and yet he can't get a "real advantage." Obama is a willow tree flowing and flapping in the wind. Hillary is like a mighty oak that can withstand the wind.

WOW!! Hillary is going into the lions den tonight on Countdown. That takes courage. Obermann has been a Hillary basher. Hillary, show Obermann what you a made of.

Obama will take you on a train ride to NOWHERE.

Hillary 2008

I am tired of the Clinton spin, telling me "what this is about".

I hope Obama will trail only by 6-7% .. if not it was worth to try to fight Billary in a state where she owns the establishment (with exception to a brave few)

Whatever this will be ... OBAMA'08

Garin would be more convincing if he didn't look so pained when he talks about the Clinton campaign. On "Meet the Press" yesterday, he couldn't even look Russert or Axelrod in the eye. It continues to amaze me that the Clinton sycophants come out of the woodwork close to any primary and say things like "a win is a win" or "Obama spent x amount of dollars and he's still going to lose by 3 or 4%" -- you were leading by @0 percentage points a couple of weeks ago!!! Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!
