Now that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has won the Pennsylvania primary by a 10-point margin, the race shifts to the remaining states - with, it seems, no clear end in sight.
Clinton's win was a crucial victory that, for the time being, keeps her candidacy alive and validates her argument to superdelegates that she can win in swing states.
"It keeps her so-called narrative alive and gives her a kind of credibility," said political analyst and St. Joseph's University history professor Randall Miller.
However, her victory is far from decisive - particularly with her campaign's precarious financial situation.
"If she has no money, she will get handily defeated in places where she would have had hope," Miller said.
Clinton won 60 of 67 counties in the state, though about 72 percent of Penn students voted for her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
The spin from each campaign suggests that both claim the Pennsylvania primary as a victory.
While the Clinton campaign initially suggested she was unbeatable in Pennsylvania and would win the state by a large margin, its definition of a "victory" changed as Obama gathered momentum in the state in recent weeks.
Now, it seems, a win is a win - and with a 10-point lead over Obama in the results, the election is certainly a victory by those standards.
The Obama campaign, however, points to the gains in the polls the Illinois senator made in the weeks leading up to the election.
"When we started this race, we got here down 20 points," said Obama spokesman Matt Lehrich. "We've made a lot of progress in the state."
Penn Democrats President and College sophomore Lauren Burdette said she was "impressed" with the results on campus.
Since about 72 percent of those who headed to the polls on campus voted for Obama, "students have united around one candidate," she said. "It really says something about what Sen. Obama represents to Penn students."
Looking forward, it seems the candidates are in the race for the long haul, beginning with the May 6 primaries in North Carolina and Indiana.
Obama has about a 15-point lead in North Carolina, and Clinton has a slight advantage in Indiana.
Miller said the possible results in Indiana are "totally unknown" at this point.
"There are big chunks of the state that could be attracted to Clinton - but Obama is well-organized, and there is the fascination with what Obama is promising," he said.
Now, it seems that regardless of Clinton's win in Pennsylvania and the results in North Carolina and Indiana, Democratic primaries will continue until all 50 states have voted.
"We won't know - we can't know - until June," Miller said. "People who are in North Carolina, Oregon, Guam . want their say too, and they will get to have their say."
So for now, the Democratic nominee is still up in the air.
"I don't think that it's set either way," Burdette said.
