How her determination in last year's Democratic primaries eventually forced Specter's hand.
'New York Times Magazine' writer Matt Bai and FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver discuss the viability of McCain's Pennsylvania-based strategy, the voters assuming we're still stuck in the 2000/2004 universe, and Silver's defense of his model should the election turn to McCain.
McCain may give up on Colorado and try to pick off Obama's old primary bugaboo, Pennsylvania, and its lush bounty of 21 electoral votes.
Everyone take your coat off. Make yourself comfortable. It's going to be a while before this is over.
Hillary wins by ten points in Pennsylvania, propelling herself into the next few weeks of the race.
We round up the local news and politics from the center of American politics (at least until tomorrow).
Some groups are simply more important than others, and they are the ones that could decide this primary, and possibly the entire race.

The tone yesterday in Pennsylvania, the long-awaited next stop in the Democratic primary march, was lighthearted: For April Fools' Day, Hillary Clinton jokingly challenged Barack Obama to a winner-take-all bowling match for the nomination, then compared herself to Rocky Balboa ("I never quit," she said at an AFL-CIO event). But contrary to all that, the competition in Pennsylvania is actually getting a lot more serious.
