Obama lose PA still in the lead

After weeks and weeks of bickering, attack ads, and controversies Pennsylvania got finally the chance to voice their opinion about the Democratic candidates and they chose Hilary Clinton. It wasn't a surprise win for her camp, Pennsylvania was fitting into her demographic: small working class, and union workers. The same demographic that helped her win in Ohio. Looks like the final numbers would suggest that she won by 10 point, all I see is a minor setback for the Obama camp since they got into this contest with a 20-25 point deficit 6 weeks ago, all the bad spins Obama got from the media and his poor performance at the last debate, none of that hurt him really. The Clinton's campaign is claiming a huge win because of all that money Obama spent in T.v ads but they forget to mention that because of bad money management her campaign is in a 10 million dollar debt, unlike Obama (41 million available) who can afford to spend that kind of money. Let's see how long she can afford staying in the race.
Indiana and North Carolina are now in the radar of both candidates the negativity won't stop, expect them to go at each other even harder.
The bottom line is that Senator Clinton won't catch up in neither popular vote nor pledged delegates, so I'm asking what's the point of staying in with all that money you owe? She claims to be the solution to the country economic crisis but can't manage her own campaign spendings.
