Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
DRUDGE?  —  There's a very odd splash headline that Drudge is running claiming that Sen. Clinton's internals show her with an 11 point lead in the state.  Now, Sen. Clinton's campaign has taken some heat during the campaign for opening lines of communications with Drudge and even giving him some exclusives.

Obama's Touch of Class  —  Allow me to introduce myself.  According to the general clucking of the national punditry, my 2004 book - “What's the Matter With Kansas?”  - is supposed to have persuaded Barack Obama to describe the yeomanry of Pennsylvania as “bitter” people who …

Michael Moore / Mike's Message:
My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore  —  I don't get to vote for President this primary season.  I live in Michigan.  The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.  —  So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor?

White Men  —  Here's another thing I don't like about this primary: now that there are only two Democratic candidates, it's suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race.  This may have always been true, but weeks ago it wasn't so obvious …
John Fund / Wall Street Journal:
The Media's Man  —  Journalists flay ABC for failing to coddle Obama.  —  George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson of ABC News weren't just criticized for their tough questioning of Barack Obama during last week's Democratic debate.  They were flayed.  —  Hendrik Hertzberg of The New Yorker called …

Financial Times:
Democrats must choose Obama  —  Barack Obama goes into Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary as strong favourite, whatever happens, to secure the Democratic presidential nomination.  Yet the vote could still go either way.  —  This is a sign of how close this race has been and how deeply it has divided the party.
