Clinton is still ahead in the polls in Pennsylvania, but her lead is shrinking, and Obama's efforts to reach out to voters in working-class suburbs like Levittown may help him narrow the gap.
If Obama ends up winning the nomination, he may need these core Democratic voters in November much more than he needs them on April 22. Clinton has said Obama will be a weak nominee because he cannot connect with white working-class voters, and Democrats need to carry those voters in order to win big swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
If Obama wins or comes very close in Pennsylvania, he could prove her wrong. After Pennsylvania, he will not have many other chances.
