What if the Ohio and Pennsylvania primaries had been this week?

[Alhena]

and today's primaries and the Chesepeake primaries (which Obama is predicted to win overwhelmingly) were later?

Hillary is up by 20 points in the polls in Ohio and Pennsylvania- if she had won those states by those margins tonight she'd be seen as the inevitable nominee. Now Obama is going to get huge momentum. So much in politics is the luck of the schedule, and Obama has been very lucky in that regard.

Now the 64 dollar question is how much of that 20 point lead Hillary can keep in OH/PA with all the momentum Obama will be getting. I'll say this much for her- if she can withstand the surge of momentum that Obama is getting now and win overwhelmingly in OH/PA she will have proven herself a true political Houdini. I'm not betting against her after New Hampshire- we shall see.
