It the eve of the Pennsylvania Primary and the media is all abuzz about the voting tomorrrow and the polls. Apparently, there was a 13 point shift in the Gallup daily tracking poll, which garnered no real story, but by early afternoon, Obama had "suddenly regained the advantage by 7% points after only having a 2% points advantage a few hours earlier. Last week he had enjoyed an 11% point advantage prior to the debate. Apparently, the debate had some impact on the tracking poll, which was a detriment to Obama. I also suspect that whenever Obama performs poorly, the pundits who are unabashed in their support for him, comes on and "explains" what he meant to say, as if Obama can't speak for himself, and has had countless opportunity to do himself without the media heads doing it for him. When they do, it is surprising how quickly the numbers shift back to show him leading. It is simply amazing to watch. Chris Matthews was clearly unhappy with the state of the polls in Pennsylvania when he spoke with Andrea Mitchell earlier on her show. I even heard David Shuster (not a Clinton lover) and Matthews claiming that the undecideds favor Obama. Someone even said Obama was predicting a win on a radio show, then I heard on Fox that he did not actually predict a win.
Hillary Clinton will be on "Countdown with Keith Olberman", a harsh Clinton critic, who has compared her supporters to David Duke (Neo Nazi). This will be required watching. I am sure Hillary will hold her own against anything Olberman throws at her. This is very smart because this will prove that she is tough and not afraid to confront her critics. She has already appeared on Fox (Greta Van Susteren), unlike Obama who has yet to appear. She will also appear on Larry King Live tonight. This is also very smart as she will have a very wide audience to showcase her command of the issues. I bet any amount of money that Larry King will ask tough questions, in stark contrast to the puff ball questions he asked Obama after the Reverend Wright story broke.
