"...BECAUSE OF YOU, THE TIDE IS

Her Pennsylvania win doesn't mask the
reality that Hillary Clinton's running

out of time.

(SOT CLINTON 222337): "HE BROKE EVERY

SPENDING RECORD IN THIS STATE, TRYING
TO

KNOCK US OUT OF THE RACE..."

It's not just time that's a problem.
While Barack Obama can afford to shower

every contest with dollars, the Clinton

campaign's in serious debt. They say

donations have surged since her
victory, but that's just a drop in the
bucket.

Obama's been raking it in for MONTHS -
he raised over 40-million-dollars in

March alone. And he's already spending
twice as much on ads in North Carolina

and Indiana - where voters go to the
polls in less than 2 weeks.

(SOT BARACK OBAMA 205509): "WE ALREADY

KNOW THAT JOHN MCCAIN OFFERS MORE OF

THE SAME. THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER
THE OTHER PARTY WILL BRING ABOUT

CHANGE IN WASHINGTON - THE QUESTION IS
WILL WE?"

Despite the loss, the Obama camp is
trying to shift its focus more onto
John

McCain. They're set to devote more
resources and manpower for a November

show-down with Republicans.

(NATSOT BARACK OBAMA 230148): "NOW IT'S

UP TO YOU INDIANA...."

But first things first - he's got to
clinch the nomination . Exit polls
show

he's got a problem with older voters
and the white working class - a huge

demographic in Indiana. He also seems
to have a tough time winning the big

states.

(oncam)

It's only been hours since Pennsylvania
had their say and already the

candidates have moved on. Both Clinton
and Obama will hold events later today

in Indiana.

Center. We'll notice a bit of fog COMM developing this morning. 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. ....Get your
