Our list was of registered Democrats. We were meant to remind them to vote on Tuesday. And most importantly, if they were undecided, to engage them in conversation.

Politics being politics, money and favoritism are making a mockery of the ideal of letting superdelegates decide a nominee purely on their conscience and the best interests of the party.

Too few of these dreary, predictable politicians who live in the world's most insecure town, Washington D.C., ever pause to think about what might happen to young men like Francis Xavier Kane.

The results of Pennsylvania's primary should be evaluated with the best interests of the party in mind. Let's determine if Clinton should stay in the race and tell the spinmeisters to take a hike.

In PA, Clinton invokes an embattled country and promotes a transactional social contract, where hard work will be rewarded. Obama affirms people's experience and asks that we work together.

This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don't mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this?

On the ground in Pennsylvania, you can sense much tenuous support and find many waffling voters. The most enigmatic include those in the bullseye of the campaigns: white male undecideds.

Lehigh Valley, PA, is in transition: recession and recovery exist side by side. People want more change. So small business owners in this corner of the Rust Belt at least are leaning toward Obama.

If Obama loses Pennsylvania and his demographic base is the same -- blacks, upper class liberal professionals, and college students -- then the issue of electability should be even more of concern for Democrats.

Experienced pols like Robert Mugabe and the Clintons rarely go gently into the good night.

Hillary can't see that her time -- the time of her world view on politics -- is coming to an end. The inability to see something new as having real significance is a fatal flaw in a leader.

"Bitter? No, why should I be bitter? I'm an American." That's how they were feeling after the Obama rally in Harrisburg, PA, today, the week of the primary. "Not Bitter, no. I'm reinvigorated!"

A lot of inside the beltway talking heads have claimed a special understanding of working class voters lately. I would submit that if, as a journalist, you have to explain your working class bona fides, then you probably don't have them.
