John Baer: Obama could actually win this thing (the Pa. primary)
By John Baer

BARACK OBAMA had a pretty good week in Pennsylvania.
In a state that pollsters and analysts call tailor-made for Hillary Clinton, Obama is seriously challenging the fit.
So much so, some wonder if an unraveling's in the offing.
One could make a case.
The average of multiple new polls, including one putting him slightly ahead, shows he has trimmed a large Clinton lead - 20 points in January, 16 last month - down to single digits, at 5.4.
His campaign yesterday announced that it raised $40 million in March amid persistent chatter that Hillary's running low and reports that she raised just half that.
More money means more TV, and Obama's clearly clubbing Clinton.
Last week alone, he spent $2.2 million on Pa. TV ads, compared with her $627,000.
