The road to the Pennsylvania Primary

Here’s your Monday morning update on the road to the Pensylvania Primary:

* 22 days until Pennsylvania goes to the polls on April 22.

* Both candidates will continue to work the Keystone State. Hillary Clinton will host a roundtable in Harrisburg this afternoon. Tonight she has a rally set in Fairless Hills, Bucks County. Tomorrow she will speak at the AFL-CIO convention in Philly.

* Barack Obama continues his “Road to Change” bus tour. He’ll be in Lancaster this morning, on the campus of Muhlenberg College in Allentown this afternoon.

* Over the weekend Gov. Ed Rendell, who makes no secret of his being solidly in the Clinton camp, fired back at some party leaders who hinted that it might be time for Sen. Clinton to get out of the race in the hopes of unifying the part. Don’t hold your breath.

Clinton has given no indication of pulling the plug, instead vowing to go all the way to the convention.

Rendell has her back, saying he believes she will cut into Obama’s lead in the popular vote in the primaries left on the calendar.

“There are 10 states left,” Rendell said. “I think Sen. Clinton’s going to teat into the popular vote. And I think if Michigan and Florida actually voted again, Sen. Clinton would come out on top of the popular vote.”

All of which must be music to the ears of Republicans, as well as their nominee, Sen. John McCain.
