PLAINFIELD, Ind. — The Pennsylvania primary may be the next stop along the turbulent road to the Democratic presidential nomination, but the epic battle between Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama will almost certainly not be settled there.
Voters of Indiana do not weigh in until May 6, but Mr. Obama arrived here Saturday for his first visit to the state this year, making it clear the campaign hinges on more than the outcome of the Pennsylvania contest on April 22. As he sees it, each of the eight remaining states on the calendar holds significance in the protracted fight for delegates.
“We are going to be campaigning actively in Indiana,” Mr. Obama said to about 3,000 people in a high school gymnasium in this Indianapolis suburb. “This is your campaign. This is your chance to make your mark on history.”
So even as Mrs. Clinton spent Saturday in Pennsylvania, attending St. Patrick’s Day parades in Pittsburgh and Scranton, her campaign was looking ahead to its first trip to Indiana on Thursday. While hoping to rely upon a strong showing in Pennsylvania, her coming visit here underscored the notion that winning a share of the 72 delegates in Indiana could be just as fruitful as claiming a slice of the 148 delegates in Pennsylvania. |
