It's Pennsylvania Tuesday.


So sayeth the Field: Clinton 52.3%, Obama 47.7%; Clinton 81, Obama 77.

So sayeth I: Clinton 53.1%, Obama 45.9%; Clinton 83, Obama 75.

The big wild card out there is the staggering amount of newly-registered Democratic voters. Where and to what extent will these new voters turn out? This kind of wild card can wreak havoc upon pollsters' likely-voter models ... see here, here, here, here and here.

And if you're still not pumped up about Pennsylvania Tuesday, perhaps this will help:

Phil Collins '08!
Possible running mate: Peter Gabriel.

Your prediction seems fair. I suspect the margin will be a little bigger though.

I think yesterday's assessment by the Boston Globe is telling.

Links in the past to the radical and controversial Brian Eno likely would sink Collins' candidacy.
