As an actual middle-class person from New Jersey, I am bitter. I am bitter about the government's complete lack of regard for my wellbeing. I think Senator Obama was dead on.

If Clinton doesn't win Pennsylvania, she can't expect to win any of the states voting in May. All of last week's polls, however, show a dramatic tightening of the PA race, Obama even leading in one.

Hillary is not a "dead woman walking," yet. She's not yet a Ralph Nader or even a Mike Huckabee. There is still a coherent scenario that could lead to Clinton's nomination. But not for long.

That she has been able to stay in the race at all is a testament to the power of the Clinton name, the Dem's ludicrous electoral system, and her hold over a petrified media and the party's bureaucratic elite.

Obama should shatter artificial racial boundaries by proposing a New "Green" Deal to revamp Appalachian region and bridge a growing chasm between bitterly divided Democrats.

In a presidential campaign infused like never before with the candidates' efforts to sell their religious beliefs as best-fitting an illusory mainstream, Obama hasn't quite pulled it off.

Ed Rendell, the Keystone State's popular governor is one of Clinton's loudest cheerleaders. The state's political infrastructure will be at her disposal. Clinton will be a formidable foe.

Of the many strange spins the Clinton campaign has sold the media, few are as troubling as the idea that she is the stronger general election candidate.

Hillary's spin, and the media adoption of that spin, will do little to change a stark reality this morning: Hillary Clinton cannot win the Democratic nomination.

If capital punishment ends only because of challenges and not because of a national reckoning with its full meaning, some cases will have let our nation off the hook in a way that cheapens our claim to being a judicious people.

The Republicans will again trot out Rove-Hudson anti-abortion, anti-gay issues to whip Catholics into line. But many Democrats have learned to fight back.

The Clinton operation's dismissive attitude towards the states that she loses feels uncomfortably like a post-facto snub by the aggrieved party in a break up: "he's not really my type anyway."
