Hillary Clinton Philly suburbs key to state primary win
summary: Clinton urbs key to state primary win holds a lead in statewide polls. But Obama is strongly favored in Philadelphia and polls show him holding a slight lead in the arc of four increasingly Democratic counties around the city. Delaware County, the one which makes up most of Sestak's 7th congressional district, is his toughest with demographics that also suit Clinton and her blue collar appeal. "It is, without question, right at the center of the fight for Pennsylvania," said Rep Joe Sestak, D-Pennsylvania, the retired admiral who represents this district and who has endorsed Obama's rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton. "How my district goes is how the state may go."
Opinion: The election is just few months away. In November, we will see the real winner. At this point, Hillary Clinton seems like she is so sure of her winning. Maybe it applies the same to Obama. However, I think if Clinton gets elected, the American economy wouldn't come back. Maybe other people think differently but I think the Clintons just mess up the economy even though they are saying they clean up the situation. My conclusion is, I want Obama to win and no Hilary

Obama goes on offensive against Clinton
Summary: After a weekend of playing defense about his "bitter" comments, Sen. Barack Obama went on offense against his Democratic rival and the presumptive Republican nominee. Obama mocked Sen. Hillary Clinton for throwing back a shot of whiskey in front of TV crews over the weekend and said she must think she's "doing me a favor" by attacking him and toughening him up for a fall race against Republican Sen. John McCain. Clinton has been hitting Obama hard after he referred to some small-town Pennsylvanians as "bitter" people who "cling to guns and religion" at a fund-raiser last week. Obama later said the remarks were badly phrased but accurate.
Opinion: The politicians get offensive a lot of times when they need to accomplish something. It seems like they are willing to do anything to win over the opponent. When I was a kid, I wanted to become a politician and change the bad things but now I realize how bad the system is for any countries and I don't want to become part of the daily fightings and offensive talks, whatsoever. However, the election is just a few months away and I think the candidates are all fired up for it. be nice people.
