After Pennsylvania: Now What?
photo

It ain’t over — again. Hillary Clinton pulls out a win in Pennsylvania and sends Barack Obama and superdelegates a double-digit message: Don’t count me out.

And so, the battle for the Democratic nomination goes on, and on, and on, and on. In two weeks, primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

This hour, On Point: the big news out of Pennsylvania and what it means for the Democrats.

-Jane Clayson
