Another Super Tuesday

After a six-week break in presidential primary elections, voters in Pennsylvania go to the polls today in what all analysts agree is a make-or-break election for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton against Sen. Barack Obama.
At one point, Clinton held a 20-point lead in the state, but Obama has narrowed that substantially in recent weeks.
The betting now is on the margin of victory, although most agree if Clinton wins by one vote, she will call it a mandate to continue on to North Carolina and Indiana in their upcoming primaries.
The real test, however, could come later this week, when Clinton calls the money people to try to raise the money needed to continue the race.
At stake today are 158 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Like all Democratic primaries, they will be decided on the proportion of vote.
