So, the final results of PA, then:

[Occam Bandage]

1. Hillary blew a 20-point lead and failed to make a statistically-significant dent in Obama's lead.
2. Obama successful bled Hillary dry of her entire cash reservoir.
3. Hillary has no firewalls left.

Sounds good to me.

[Coexist]

1. I'll take it!

[Yael]

2. *snicker*

Works for me too!

[H2O Man]

3. Sounds good to me.

Nominated.

[tridim]

4. It's more over tonight that it was yesterday.

[Cant trust em]

5. Didn't quite blow the lead, but held on.

Still feeling good about the nomination.

[Occam Bandage]

12. I'd argue that she did. With a 20-point win, she could make a decent argument

about her chances going forward. She could say, look, Obama's peaked, and if I keep winning blowouts like this then I'm the nominee.

With a slim single-digit lead, her claim to "the momentum" is tarnished, and she certainly can't claim that she's made progress towards winning the nomination. She has to win a higher percentage of all delegates going forward than she did yesterday.

[Cant trust em]

21. She'll call it a win and that's all that matters.

But we know that it's not all that matters, it's the delegate count. Tonight is an OK night for her after its all said and done. It's always good to win, but what does this win mean for her? Answer...not much. She's still not going to win the nom.

[Occam Bandage]

She called Texas a win, too, despite Texas taking her further from the nomination.

PA, too, took her further from the nomination.

[Cant trust em]

25. It's like a window that is slowly closing

each primary she can slow it down for a little bit, but sooner or later that window's going to close.

[cliffordu]

36. This is like that 'Joementum', isn't it??

:rofl:

[KansasVoter]

6. And she cannot raise money!

[newmajority]

7. Excellent summation

Let the Hillbots celebrate tonight. It will be the last party they have. :party:

[Fearless]

8. Amen.

[Mme. Defarge]

9. The night is young -- n/t

[Fearless]

13. Umm... yeah if the night is a year long and began last December.

She's lost. Then again, she might infuse her campaign with more of her millions. Why not. It's the American way... oh wait... the Republican way.

[peace13]

10. Hilary came out in a national debate as an official

warmonger willing to obliterate countries.

[Fearless]

16. Hehe.

[tabasco]

22. And Bill got caught in more bald-faced lies.

They have really hurt their reputation with this desperate power grab.

[tekisui]

11. One last chance for HIllary to leave on a high note.

[NeedleCast]

14. Yup, About Sums it Up

If Chuck's head explodes it'll be that much better. He is buttering up the Super Delegates on MSNBC

[islandmkl]

15. call the movers....

hillary needs the goalposts moved, again....

[longship]

17. 4. She still can't win the general election.

You forgot that one.
:evilgrin:

[Zhade]

23. She can't. You have to be the nominee to have a chance.

NT!

[Occam Bandage]

35. And she's further away now than she was yesterday.

[Lisa0825]

18. K&R!!!

:kick: :woohoo: :bounce:

[Cooley Hurd]

19. I agree. For any Obama supporter who is feeling bad about tonight....

...her win is not a gain.:thumbsdown: Oh, that goes for any Clinton supporters feeling buoyed by tonight's results.;)

[Zhade]

20. Nailed it!

And all as expected.

[cui bono]

24. 4. Hillary now needs at least 80% of remaining delegates to pull ahead. n/t

[NJmaverick]

26. That sums it up, Obama has achieved victory!

[knixphan]

27. goalposts are getting worn out from transport...

[progressoid]

31. Where ARE those dang goalposts?

They were in Pennsylvania. Maybe in Indiana now? :shrug:

[Bonobo]

28. WHOOOOOSH!

[OzarkDem]

29. 22% of precincts reporting

and all of Obama's strong areas have been counted.

[depakid]

30. When was her lead 20%? November?

I don't know anyone whose judgment I trust that believed she's win by anywhere near that margin after the primaries and caucuses began....

Nevertheless, she's cash strapped- hough it remains to be seen how Obama can capitalize on that Indiana.

[Occam Bandage]

32. As recently as 4/12, ARG.

[stillcool]

33. Where are the goal posts now?

[rainbow4321]

42. On the tarmac, waiting for the nonstop, red eye flight to Guam? n/t

[azmouse]

34. I'm satisfied.

Gobama!

[Bonobo]

37. kick

[Hoof Hearted]

38. He outspent her 3 to 1. At least we Hillary supporters got our moneys worth!

Lame excuses OB. Kinda sad.

[peace13]

39. Yes..if Hill had money, let's say she wasn't in the hole financially,

I am positive that she would not spend one penny more than her opponent. Now to the question of bad campaign finances and how that reflects on her ability to manage funds. It is good that you brought up campaign finances this evening.

[BlooInBloo]

40. Good point - Clinton can't get people to give her money either.

[Occam Bandage]

43. Hey, look, a Hillary supporter trying to spin Hill's dried-up revenue stream as a positive!

[Honeycombe8]

41. Yes, let the reality sink in to her supporters in the next week. Nothing's changed.

She is still the loser. I would admit it readily if it were Obama. But it's not.

HRC has lost. PA is her territory. If all she can pull is a weak 8% margin, that's not saying much. She has lost pledged delegates, popular votes, and now this loss of a sort in PA.

She desperately clings to the Florida-Michigan thing, as if a race was ever run there (which wasn't, of course). That is her backup. But it won't work. The voters will not allow the superdelegates to take away Obama's winning status and give it to the loser.

[XemaSab]

44. #4- Hillary now has to get 61% instead of 60% to get to 2025

:P
