Voters in the northeastern American state of <Pennsylvania> have voted in an important presidential primary contest. Experts say Senator <Hillary Clinton> must win to stay in the race. She is expected to win. However, she needs to win by a large number of votes if she is to narrow the lead of her opponent, Senator <Barack Obama>. He is ahead in the popular vote and in the number of the nominating delegates. Ms. <Clinton> says a victory in <Pennsylvania> along with her wins in <California> and <New York> will prove that Mr. <Obama> cannot win in states with large numbers of delegates. Mr. <Obama> said that he does not expect to win <Pennsylvania>. But, he believes he has already cut into her once large lead.
