The Aftermath
You know, thinking about it, you can't help but feel sorry for Hillary and her supporters. She went in to Pennsylvania needing a huge victory not only there, but in every single remaining contest so that she could pull even with Obama on delegates.
After six weeks of the most vicious campaigning, helped along by several gaffes from her opponent, Clinton held on to enough of a lead to claim a respectable victory by a not-insignificant margin.
All of that, and the mathematical possibility that she'll catch up to Obama has actually decreased. She went in needing 65% in all of the remaining contests. She only got around 55% in Pennsylvania, which means she now needs something like 69% in what remains. That has got to suck.
Not that I expect it to deter her or her supporters. They'll keep campaigning right up until McCain's inauguration.
