Hillary Clinton wins the Pennsylvania primary and avoids elimination in the nomination race. Exit polls show that Clinton won with the support of blue-collar workers, women and white men. Clinton has 53 percent and Obama has 47 percent of the votes with nine percent of the votes counted.
Superdelegates are beginning to wonder why Barack Obama hasn’t locked up the nomination with all the advantages he has. Presently, he leads with 1,648 delegates and Hillary Clinton has 1,537 delegates. The Pennsylvania primary will award 158 delegates towards the 2,025 needed to secure the nomination.
Other Democratic Election headlines include:
Voter turnout was high in the Pennsylvania primary.
Exit polls show that 9 out of 10 say the country is in recession.
Historically, candidates who rely on young voters are disappointed by low turnout.

The Democratic candidates have flooded Pennsylvania voters with “robocalls” in the final days before the presidential primary. The automated phone calls have the same negative tone of the candidates’ bitter race where they boost their own credentials, while criticizing their opponent.
The Pennsylvania primary will determine the rest of the Democratic campaign. If Obama wins or Clinton wins by 5 points or less, the race is basically over. If she's ahead within the low teens, Clinton will remain the underdog. If Clinton wins in the high double digits, then she might ultimately win the popular vote.
Other Democratic Election headlines include:
Women don't feel obligated to vote for Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama predicts that Clinton might win Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania voter registration surge may cut into Hillary Clinton's win projections.

Barack Obama was asked why he didn’t wear a flag pin. He replied that he revered the American flag and loved America.

The Barack Obama campaign recently released the tax returns of the Obama family. The returns show the Obamas reporting a significant jump in their income from the previous year. Part of the jump comes from the $4.2 million Barack Obama made on the sales of his two books.

The 45,000-member association timed its endorsement to give Clinton a boost at her speech before the AFL-CIO's Building Trades National Legislative Conference.
