lol, youre late. OMG OBAMA WAS DESTROYED... even though hillary beating him at this point is a mathematical impossibility since she was supposed to win way bigger tonight just to improve her chances of tying with him.

Those who think Hillary still has over a 10 percent chance aren't very good at math.

Hillary had a 20 point lead in PA a few months ago, and lost half of that (and she would have lost more if Obama didn't put his foot in his mouth with that nasty verb: "cling").

It showed the strength of Obama's speaking that he was able to shave 10 points off her lead, and keep most of his delegate lead (and the popular vote lead on top of that).

Now, Clinton needs blowouts in just about every remaining state to have a chance at surpassing Obama's popular vote and delegate lead.

I think you have to realize that SDs that have voted so far is tenuous at best because all of them can change their mind before and at the DNC. THis will go to the DNC and Hillary will win...or at least I hope she does. WE cannot hand the reigns of government to one as inexperienced as Obama.

Obama's 2,000 votes + political trickery could very well = Clinton's win. I wouldn't underestimate the Clinton's abilities to do whatever it takes, make any deal, call any favors, make any promise, etc. to get the nomination for the Mrs.

Hillary Clinton won by 10 pts and showed that Obama has a very small base in PA. He won a county dominated by a College and Philadelphia by good amounts and a couple other by veyr small amounts (about 5 counties)..he lost the rest of the state by huge margins.

Basically she affirmed that IF Obama is the nominee PA is lost to the Democrats.

But won them in the Primary.
Who won PA in previous elections? Anyone know where to look?
