EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Barack Obama is taking comfort in making the Pennsylvania primary less than a blowout for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Already campaigning in Indiana, the Democratic presidential front-runner told supporters in Evansville on Tuesday night that he was able to narrow the gap in Pennsylvania, register a record number of voters and rally people of all backgrounds to his campaign.
After the bruising Pennsylvania contest, Obama said bickering and tit-for-tat politics obscured the great issues of the day -- two wars, a recession and a planet in peril.
The Illinois senator told his Evansville rally that many people didn't think he could make it a close race in Pennsylvania, where Clinton once enjoyed large leads in polls.
