After leading by 15-20 pts in Pennsylvania a week or two ago, Hillary Clinton's lead is quickly dropping. 

A Rasmussen poll out today has shown that her once 15 point lead fell to 13 two weeks ago, 10 last week, and 5 this week. 

A Survey USA poll out today as well shows that the race isn't quite so close, but still shows that Clinton's 19 point lead has now fallen to 12. 

With several weeks to go before Pennsylvania, anything can happen.  Sure, there could be another 'wright' type controversy against Obama, but, if anything, as seen in these polls, Obama's numbers have actually gone up, since the controversy occurred. 

If Hillary is only able to win PA by single digits, the media will play it as a close race, and she will surely be unable to pick up enough delegates to even make things look competitive.

If Obama continues to close, as he is able to outspend her 4-1, plus he always does well when he has time to campaign, could he actually pull off a surprise victory there?  Though still unlikely, it would certainly put a nail in Hillary's coffin, effectively ending the Democratic primary race.
