Stop the Presses! Obama leads in PA

Barack Obama has taken the lead in Pennsylvania, a remarkable turnaround after trailing Hillary Clinton by 26 points in a PPP poll in the state just two and a half weeks ago.

Obama's steep rise could be a reflection of a growing sense among Democratic voters that a continued divisive nomination process will hurt the party's chances of defeating John McCain this fall. An Obama upset in Pennsylvania would be virtually certain to force Clinton out of the race.

When you have PA state governor Ed Rendell debating U.S. Senator Bob casey Jr. on nationalTV and both back different candidates the issue of divisivness is hard to deny.

Rendell's public support of Hillary has not seemed to help her much according to the latest poll numbers. Obama leads across all age groups except senior citizens and balances Clinton's 10 point lead with women with his own 15 point lead with men.
