Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary election for the Democratic nomination yesterday leading her rival Barack Obama by 55-45%. Her victory in another big state has sparked new hope in her campaign for clinching the nomination nationally. As in other states, Clinton’s supporters were larger white and older, while Obama won big among Blacks and youth. But because Pennsylvania allocates delegates proportionally, her latest win does little to catch up to Obama’s delegate lead. With no major states among the nine remaining contests, Clinton’s delegate gap may be impossible for her to erase. The candidates are now gearing up for the next two races on May 6th in Indiana and North Carolina. Obama is leading in North Carolina, while in Indiana both candidates are neck in neck.
