Obama PA Stronghold Counties Still Largely Unreported.
Hillary is giving her victory speech at the moment the perception is the strongest.

Chester, Montgomery, Lancaster have 0% in so far. Bucks is at 6%. The night should just get better for Obama.

Congrats Hillary on a win. It does impress me that she can still win a state, but the final delegate count from tonight's contest will not impress me or the Superdelegates.

I expect them to be reminded that she is far behind, in debt, and can only pull 2% of the needed black vote.

1. They are just saying that on MSNBC now --
Check out this link - I think it's more current than MSNBC (or whatever network you're watching)

2. That's what I was hoping.
I want Obama to close this current 10% gap
to no more than five or six percent.

8. Do you think he can overtake her in Delaware?
36% in with Clinton up by 4. I suspected that she might do good there.

And, what is going on with Bucks? There is only 10% in but she is up by a lot.

11. Chuck Todd says
"They're counting verrrry verrry slowly." Get that man some coffee.

For what it's worth, Howard Fineman says that several counties that have thus far been very big for Hillary are still not finished counting as well .

15. Yep. It looks like it will certainly be single digits.
Could be lower than 6.

She could net single digit Delegates tonight.

18. CNN's map shows that Clinton won the suburbs
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 09:14 PM by Secret_Society
She is losing Lancaster, winning Montgomery and Chester has still not reported. I think her performance here is very surprising.

24. It is time she step down so Obama can begin is campaign for the WH.
She is to far behind to make a difference any more and it is best for the party's membership.

26. "Hillary can't win the black vote "is like saying
"Obama can't win the states Democrats have to win."

In fact the opposite is true. If it were Hillary versus McCain, Hillary would win the black vote overwhelmingly.

And when Obama runs against McCain, Obama will win all the blue states easily.

The big difference is that Obama and Dean believe in a 50-state strategy, and have proven they know how to raise the money and build the organization to content in all 50 states. Meanwhile, Clinton heads for a trouncing in NC and a very close match in Indiana with her campaign in debt up to her eyeballs.
