From Politico "Pennsylvania, on April 22, is the last big state to vote, with 158 pledged delegates. It also comes more than a month after the previous primary, in Mississippi, on March 11.And so, if the two Democrats are still alive then, Pennsylvania becomes Iowa, on steroids. The campaigns and the media all decamp to Harrisburg. Clinton and Obama develop a keen interest in the concerns of the Amish. Michael Nutter becomes a major national figure"
Granted, I am not that advanced in years, but I have followed politics since I was a kid (1988) and I can't remember Pennsylvania's primary ever having any significance to the nominating process, so, needless to say as a Pennsylvanian and a political junkie, I would be enormously pleased to see PA become "Iowa on steroids", or at a minimum, "South Carolina on the 'Clear and the Cream.'"
