Drudge: CLINTON INTERNALS SHOW 11-POINT LEAD IN PA

"Controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton's inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania!

Clinton is polling near to nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state, a top insider explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

A strong coalition of middle-class and religious voters has all but secured a Clinton victory Tuesday, with headline-making margins, the campaign believes.

"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how much," a senior campaign source said Monday morning.

When pressed if the dramatic internal polling numbers could somehow be flawed in a state as demographically complex as Pennsylvania, and with new voter registration surging to unseen levels, the campaign insider held firm.

"Senator Obama would be wise not to unpack his bags quite yet."

With less than 24 hours to go until the beginning of the end of primary season voting, Obama has handedly captured Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but has failed to dominate suburban sprawl, the campaign's polling reveals."

And they needed polls to discover so obvious a matter?

Obama handedly winning minority areas of interest isn't something remotely earth-shattering, which leaves me to believe these "internal polls" are wishful thinking more than anything remotely scientific.

Its a foregone conclusion that Hillary will win Pennsylvania but to suggest she'll do so by such an overwhelming margin would almost be too good to be true. A strong showing by Obama would all but force the Clinton campaign to toss in the towel, leaving the democrats ample time to begin focusing upon McCain instead of bashing one another. Hillary herself might not want to call it quits, but Obama could ease back in spending massive amounts of money in the remainder of the primaries and better husband his resources. She whips his ass and then he's forced to throw all he's got against her, with the pendulum swinging her way and the super delegates even more confused than ever.

We'll see. It wouldn't be above the Clintons to feed Drudge bogus numbers hoping last minute Obama supporters will become dissatisfied.
