Hillary Clinton dodged a fatal blow to
her candidacy and goes on to fight the
next round.
After a bruising six week slugfest in
Pennsylvania.. the candidate who
compared herself to that underdog
Philadelphia fighter Rocky - emerged
from
the ring triumphant.
But Clinton was never a long shot
here.. the state's demographics favored
her.. and exit polls confirmed that.
she won the majority of support from
Democratic women, Catholics, gun
owners and white working class voters.
She
was also the favorite for voters who
made up their minds in the last week.
(Drew Levinson, Reporting)
BRIDGE: This victory gives Clinton a
shot of energy for the next round .
She'll use it to make her case that
she wins in the big states.
Still, the odds of winning the
nomination are stacked against Clinton.
Her
campaign is hemorrhaging money and
Barack Obama is sitting on a pile of
cash
and a virtually insurmountable lead in
the delegate count
Big spending and persistent stumping
helped him dampen Clinton's margin of
victory in Pennsylvania. He held his
key groups - blacks, college educated
and
new voters.
nats.. .
With nine primaries to go.. many
Democrats are worried the more battered
their
candidates become the more it helps
the Republicans this fall. Drew
Levinson,

sorts. The adults say what they're
learning here, is something they could
never learn in the classroom.
Duval Hughes says he never
realized how many soldiers sacrificed
their lives for him to be here.
Thomas Gorrigues (gor-e-guess)
says the depiction of D-Day is helping
him understand how hard it was for
young soldiers.
"We always learn something more
after seeing things. It's more lively
and more realistic."
Standing under the overlord arch,
Dugue is moved to song.
The song is called "my Normandy."
A reminder that this is their
memorial too.

Center. Low clouds and drizzle will
continue overnight with lows in the
50s. We'll notice a bit of fog
developing during the early morning
Wednesday. Use caution during your
commute. An area of high pressure will
replace the departing storm Wednesday
through Friday. This should bring
decreasing shower chances and partly
sunny skies. The return of sunshine
will boost highs to the mid 70s both
days. Saturday, a backdoor cold front
will stall out along the VA/MD border.
Showers and a few storms may develop
along the front, but should not be that
numerous. Highs stay put in the 70s.
We'll monitor this and keep you updated
throughout the week. The front will
stick around Sunday as well, with
scattered showers. ....Stay tuned for
the complete forecast in less than 10
minutes. >>

(END SOT) what he hopes will be a productive stay

One of the many perks of winning
the National Club Pro Championship last
June is that it gave Chip six passes -
if you will - to PGA events of his
choosing. Charlotte will be his fourth
stop.

Chip is one of the longest
drivers on the tour when he's playing,
but in Charlotte he may have to
sacrifice some distance for accuracy.
CHIP SULLIVAN
Speaking of Tiger, the defending
champ will not be back next week to
defend his title in Charlotte. Just
after the Masters, Tiger had another
procedure done in his left knee. That
makes three surgeries on that same knee
since 1994.
His absence won't affect the
gallery size - the tournament is
complete sellout - and includes a
number of Chip fans who are heading
south.
