Barack Obama - to Indiana, where the New York senator is slightly ahead in the polls and desperately behind in cash.

Obama Shifting Focus From Clinton to McCain

AlterNet - San Francisco,CA,USA
Barack Obama (D-Ill.) by 10 points in the Pennsylvania primary. "Some people counted me out and said to drop out, but the American people don't quit and they want a president who doesn't want to quit either," Clinton told a packed Philadelphia ballroom in her first remarks in many days that contained no criticism of Obama -- after what many observers said was the most mud-filled primary yet.
