Pennsylvania Votes To Attack Iran
Well shit. This ad worked, the one implying that Hillary Clinton was the candidate more ready to answer the phone at 3AM because Osama bin Laden attacked Pearl Harbor.

In a sense, yes. I do think that People’s rejection of the politics of fear will help Obama. It may also have helped reduce Clintons substatianl 20+ point margin in PA to a less than stellar 8.5%. If you look at the exit polls, Obama made serious inroads among all of Hillary’s key constituencies. In the end, it just wasn’t enough to give him a win.
