It's all about the media's portrayal of Hillary's chances

Heading into the final day of campaigning before the Pennsylvania primary, Hillary Clinton is poised to claim a victory over Barack Obama.  The question is how large of a victory will it be?  And an even larger question than that is how will the media choose to spin that victory?  In other words, if Obama closes within five points, will the media go bananas and declare that Hillary is back in the race, or will they take the logical route and explain that the former First Lady mathematically eliminated herself by not taking full advantage of her last opportunity to substantially diminish Obama's lead among pledged delegates with time running out before all the states have voted?

It's up to you Brian WIlliams, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Howard Fineman, Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, and Keith Olbermann.  If you plan to give us a narrative, give us one based on fact.
