RIDING THE RAILS WITH SEN. OBAMA IN PENNSYLVANIA.  —  DOWNINGTON, Pa.— At the next train stop, I'm going to stand behind Senator Obama when he speaks.  When he's decrying the trivial distractions in politics, I think he may be crossing his fingers behind his back.
Chris Cillizza / The Fix:
Obama & Clinton in Full ‘Outrage’ Mode  —  The final days before any contested primary are filled with charges and counter-charges as each campaign (and their allies) throw everything against the wall in hopes that something will stick and affect the outcome of the vote.

Poll: Clinton margin in Pa. won't cut Obama's delegate lead  —  WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton leads among bowlers, gun owners and hunters in Pennsylvania, a blue-collar trifecta that is helping her hold an edge over rival Barack Obama heading into Tuesday's pivotal primary there.

HBO, after the revolution  —  CURRENT HISTORY: Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney in HBO's “ John Adams.”  The classy miniseries, which has done well, in the ratings, ends its run Sunday.  —  It used to always be the premium of the premiums.  Now the cable pack's catching up.
Megan McArdle:
Georgia on my mind  —  I have to say, I don't like to hear that Barack Obama is going slow on supporting Georgia against Russia's land-grab.  Russia not only attempts to exert economic and military hegemony over its neighbors; it has a distinct dislike for free elections.
