Clinton wins PA, circus train headed to NC
With all the national media declaring Sen. Hillary Clinton the victor in Pennsylvania, a Tar Heel voter may be tempted to ask, so what?
I think the only relevance to those of us voting on May 6 is that the victory ensures the campaign will come to North Carolina. If Clinton had lost, one might have been able to make the case that Barack Obama had more mojo going into the final stages of the campaign and that with a loss among people who were supposed to be her base, Clinton had shown enough weakness that she should bow out.
Well, that ain't happening.
Clinton, her husband the former President and daughter Chelsea will all be in the state over the next week and one can well imagine Obama is going to be back with his top surrogates as well.
North Carolina, with 115 delegates, is the richest prize left on the Democratic Primary calendar. Indiana, which also votes on May 6, is next with 72. Puerto Rico has 55. Puerto Rico will vote June 1, followed by Montana and South Dakota, which close the primary season on June 3.

Mark,
PLEASE have your Jones Street audio-recording device fully charged when/if the 6+ ring alphabet circus (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, WWE) shows up in front of the Old Guilford Courthouse. I can't wait to play what they have to say, when you interview them, exit-polling us.
