Obama Getting Ready To Put The Game Away

The latest Quinnipiac poll shows Barack Obama pulling with six points of Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania with Clinton losing support among women.

A surprise win puts the race away from Obama. There are those that argue that it is already impossible for Hillary to win the race. I believe she is staying in because either 1) she has an internal strategy to win that her people are NOT sharing with the press. 2) she believes that there are unreported controversies still out there that will derail Obama.

What internal strategy? The Clinton campaign won't say and they certainly are not telling the press. It's akin to a college basketball coach mouthing cliches to the media before a big game rather than actually reporting strategy. I'm convinced that Hillary wouldn't stay in otherwise.

But after a Pennsylvania win for Obama, I can't think of a conceivable strategy (barring scandal) that pulls out the victory for Hillary.
