Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner of today’s Pennsylvania Democratic primary, a big win for a candidate who needed it.
Barack Obama, meanwhile, appears to have made this a close contest: With 7 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton leads him 53 percent to 47 percent.
Pundits will debate for days the meaning of Clinton’s victory, but the likelihood is one that has remained constant for weeks (or longer): This race is probably going to come down to the decisions of superdelegates at the Democratic Party’s convention in August.
In New Mexico, several superdelegates, including U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, U.S. Rep. Tom Udall and state Democratic Party Chair Brian Colón, remain uncommitted to either candidate. As this race drags on, the courting of them by both candidates is only going to increase.
In the meantime, you can read more on Clinton’s Pennsylvania victory from CNN and the Associated Press.
