It sure looks like it may be. Clinton’s poll numbers aren’t reaching the lofty goal she has set for herself in Pennsylvania. Herself (HRC) might be supplanted by Himself(BHO). Bittergate is backfiring on the Clinton 2008 Campaign. The story hasn’t grown legs, turned into stumps, Hill’s fallen on her face. If she loses this time around she is cooked for any future run for the Presidency.
I’m not sure Hillary would win another term as Senator.
From Bloomberg.com:
Barack Obama is leading Hillary Clinton in two of the next three Democratic primaries, an advantage, if it holds, that would allow him to sew up the nomination.
A new Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll of likely Democratic voters gives Clinton a 46 percent to 41 percent edge in Pennsylvania, and a similar 40 percent to 35 percent lead for Obama in Indiana. In North Carolina, Obama has a larger, 13- point advantage.
“To have a solid chance of winning the nomination she’d probably have to win all three” and get “a double-digit victory in Pennsylvania,” says Tad Devine, a former strategist for Democrat John Kerry’s 2004 presidential bid. “If she wins just one of the three, it may be difficult if not impossible for her to continue” and “if she loses Pennsylvania, it’s over.”
The poll offers some warnings for Democrats in the general election. More than two-fifths of voters in each of the three states say the controversy surrounding Obama’s former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, will be a problem if the Illinois senator is the Democratic presidential nominee in the fall. In addition, at least one-fifth of voters in Indiana and North Carolina say they would vote for Republican candidate John McCain in the November election if their chosen Democratic candidate isn’t the party nominee.

No matter what the results are things are looking up for McCain.

She’s behind in the popular vote and has fewer pledged delegates and primary victories than Obama; she’s had only one superdelegate endorse her since March 4; and she’s losing ground to Obama in Pennsylvania polls at an alarming rate.
