As the Pennsylvania primaries approach; Hillary Clinton continues to lead around the state with the exception of the greater Philadelphia area.
According to HillaryClinton.com, "The Clinton Campaign today announced the endorsements of 12 Pennsylvania State Legislators, demonstrating Hillary's growing support in the Keystone State."
However, even through the previous predictions of her clean sweep of the state, her lead is continuing to dwindle as the candidates continue to travel across the towns of Pennsylvania.
A Rasmussen telephone survey, according to Fox News, released on Tuesday that Clinton's lead shrunk to five points, from 47 percent to 42 percent, from her previous 10 points a week ago.
However, according to Democratic strategist Bob Beckel, the polls are often off target, and this creates unreliability in predicting popularity scales. "I've never seen a year when the polls have been so out of line as they have this year," Beckel told FoxNews.com on Tuesday.
Many democratic supporters believe that Clinton will continue her campaign no matter the outcome of the state of Pennsylvania. However, Fox News also stated; "should Clinton lose the state, which most political pundits say is unlikely, 'there would have to be conversation on her campaign about dropping out,' said Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers.
However, Clinton continues to edge on and lead in almost every major region of Pennsylvania except for as previously stated Philadelphia. Hillary Clinton addressed voters of Philadelphia on Tuesday. In the remarks she had made to AFL-CIO members, Clinton described her "underdog" status in the race and shadowed herself as a reflection of the Philadelphia famed Rocky Balboa.
According to Fox News; "Well, could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those Art Museum steps and said, "Well, I guess that's about far enough?'" Clinton asked the crowd." "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people."

Twelve state legislators, the governor, and the Philly mayor can't help Hillary at this point. Even if she wins in Pennsylvania, it's only a matter of time. (Continued…)

How can voters believe anything Clinton says any more?
Do we trust Clinton when she says she is against NAFTA or do we believe video tape that shows her active role during its inception?
Do we trust Clinton when she says she she was under sniper fire during her trip to Bosnia or do we believe the video tape that proves she was not?
Do we trust Clinton when she says she supports equal rights for all Americans or do we believe she supports remarks made by attack dogs like the former President or Geraldine Ferraro?
Do we trust Clinton when she talks about a pregnant woman who lost her child and died herself or do we believe the doctors that treated the woman who tell quite a different story. (Continued…)

I think that despite the Obama Glitzkrieg, my home state of Pennsylvania will choose the more dependable of the two Democratic candidates and allow Obama to sit on the back burner for four more years. (Continued…)
