The Low Road to Victory — The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

McCain's Stalking Horse? — If Hillary can't win the nomination—and it's clearly very, very hard for her—she's basically a stalking horse for McCain. She's preparing the demographic ground for McCain, by getting white working-class Democrats used to (if you will) not voting for Obama.

Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
STATUS QUO ANTE — Lots of spin coming from both campaigns tonight. I'd say the real story is that this leaves us basically where we were. It was a decisive win for Hillary but that was the expectation. Going into tonight I think the dividing line was about 8 points.
Glenn Harlan Reynolds / New York Post:
GREEN & SMART — EARTH-SAVING DONE RIGHT — I HAVEN'T been able to get very excited about the big global-warming debate - but I am excited about some solutions to global warming.

The Worst Of All Worlds For The Dems — Right now, the actual results suggest what I thought would be the worst possible result for the Democrats: a nine point win for Clinton. It doesn't change the race's dynamic or the math; but it will give Clinton just the tiniest sliver of an argument that she should not drop out.
