Both Democratic candidates step up attacks as the Pennsylvania primary less than 48 hours away

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama increase their attack ads in Pennsylvania, foreseeing the importance of these last 40 hours until the vote. Both candidates have spent big money so far on ads for the P.A. primary. Obama and Clinton have crisscrossed through Pennsylvania the past days persuading the citizens for their vote. CNN reports that Obama has successfully cut into Clinton’s 20 point lead to as little a single digits, see the article here.

Obama puts down his bowling shoes for basketball sneaks

Well if you’re like me and completely sick of seeing rerun after rerun of Barack’s bad bowling on every major network (because his bowling game grants us such an amazing incite on how he’ll be as President) then theres good news on the way. The New York Times reports that the Obama campaign is offering the chance for a high school student from Indiana to a pickup game of hoops 3v3 if that student registers 20 classmates or friends to vote. This is a great idea to keep the young interested in this particularly long nomination process, young voters have shattered records in every state primary thus far, this should definitely keep the trend going. The New York Times has the plan’s details available here.

Barack wins Mississippi, confronts the idea of a split ticket

Not much of a surprise here, he held a large lead in the polls going into the heavily African-American populated Mississippi.

I agree.
