Media is now doing the expected "a tie is a win for Obama" call

[HughMoran]

This was posted previously and is playing out right now on MSNBC.

Good call...

[incapsulated]

1. MSNBC = OBAMA CHANNEL

turn it off.

[Egnever]

2. It is a win

How can it not be? We were hoping for a tie a week ago. We had wispers of a win today but yesterday a tie is all we really hoped for.

5. Some people don't like the downside of being the "inevitable" candidate.

7. No kidding!!! ROFL!!

...funny that, coming from the "comeback kid" of New Hampshire..

14. A tie is a win

I am ready to vote for Obama next week here in Maryland toward breaking the tie. :-)

3. LOL! I thought it was a "tie is a win for Hillary"!

[Tektonik]

4. I agreed somewhat with that line back with Iowa

But it has been a long time since Iowa and Obama is not the David to Hillary the Goliath any longer. He's had ample time and a good enough campaign machine to pull ahead. If he doesn't do it today, then it just was not meant to be.

6. its a win because it means the surge has checked her.

and the power of obama will now be able to finish her off once and for all.

8. A veteran of campaigns--Stephanminjadpoulus said similar thought

that a slight narrowing of Clinton's delegate lead could spell trouble for her going forward with the remaining states and that if she increased her 60 delegate lead significantly into the 120 or more range...trouble for him. If she is about the same or only slightly higher in margin after tonight...might as well call it a toss up and a long primary period.

which is ironic. considering what everyone said about these early front loaded primaries.

9. Ridiculous. nt

10. Who would have thought that such a humble person as Lord Barack would do so well.

The Celebrity Candidate.

Oh, well, congrats are in order, a tie is definitely a big deal. MSM loves their horse races.

11. Ummm, a week ago Clinton was up 10, yesterday she was still up 3%.

How could you not say it is a win for Obama's camp?

[blm]

12. Because Hillary was NEVER supposed to lose anything at all this year. Why can't

any of you pick up a calculator and punch in what Hillary's poll numbers were in these states just two months ago and then punch in the numbers popping up tonight and you'll start to understand that there is one campaign here that is visibly WEAKENING while the other is visibly growing STRONGER.

Sheesh. When a pol is up by 40% at one point you expect them to win by at least 20%. These closing weeks are showing an amazing surge for Obama that you all ignore because you you can't have your faith shaken in the good old Clinton machine. Pay attention to those stress fractures in that machine, because THAT is what you want to ride in throughout the long general election.

13. It's true in that Obama stays in the race for delegates. n/t

15. Obama led on delegates when the night started.

The latest count at MSNBC:

Hillary = 160
Obama = 109

16. C'mon, the guy was down about 30 points a couple of months ago

Clinton was supposed to blow him out of the water. It's a win in the sense that he can keep going, rather than everything getting decided tonight.
