Clinton or Obama? You might get to make the pick.

The two Democratic challengers are still neck-and-neck in the race for their party’s nomination, and that means Pennsylvania Democrats might be perfectly positioned to break a tie.

The state primary was dismissed months ago as too late to make a difference. But the 24-state “Super Tuesday” didn’t produce a definitive frontrunner, and the primaries between now and Pennsylvania’s April 22nd primary might not either.

PA is the largest state that has yet to hold a primary, making it a key battleground because of the great amount of delegates at stake.

After Mississippi’s primary election on March 11th there are no other primaries in the six weeks leading up to Pennsylvania’s. So the state would be able to hog the candidates, with no competition from other states.

This could mean Iowa-style campaigning. With candidates at your local coffee shop, and television crews stomping through your neighborhoods.

State Republicans are less likely to have any serious say in picking their nominee. Sen. John McCain has effectively clinched the nomination.

So after all the back and forth and finger pointing about not moving our primary up, it looks like dumb luck has brought us to this--a primary that really matters. Let’s just remember that a lot can still change between now and April 22nd, and we could wind up right back where we started--with a good for nothing role in the game known as presidential nominating politics.
