All this whoop-di-do for 10 delegates? Nice nonmandate.
Demconwatch shows their (historically very accurate) split of the Pa. delegates at 84-74. Net 10 Hillary.

As I said last night, Hillary and her fans are to be congratulated, but this is hardly earth shattering. She had to beat her Ohio margin because "Pennsylvania is even more like Ohio than Ohio." She didn't.

The clock's running out, Hillary. Just a few minutes left in the fourth quarter.

DRIP - FAIL

1. Senator Clinton is electable
Senator Obama is not. It's that simple.

8. Morning. I'm in the Lubbock airport waiting to go home.
I was discouraged at first, but realized she didn't gain diddly.

As Gov. Rendell said, any democrat will win Pennsylvania this fall.

Now I am excited. I can't wait to hear if I get moved up (I'm an alternate). Going to be some interesting challenges out of Bexar and El Paso Counties.

10. Howdy!
Lubbock airport? Sounds fun! :D

We definitely need to do a DU meetup at the convention! This will be fun! And, yes, I'm looking forward to at least attending the Credentials committee and seeing what happens. :hi:

3. If he's unelectable, why is Obama ahead with 1,715½ delegates to Hillary's 1,590½ ?

4. That's funny.
Hillary starts with 50%+ negative rating. She can pull no repuke, and few indys. And she is losing.

How is it she is electable when she is losing an election?

7. A very expensive ten delegates
Obama essentially got Hillary to bust the bank
and drive up a mountain of debt defending her own turf.
Now all her fundraising is going towards paying the bills and the interest.
She got rope-a doped... like a sucker.
Pretty funny in the grand scheme.

11. Hillary spent a record $2.5 Million dollars per delegate for her win in PA. Bad fiscal policy.
Considering she is $10 Million dollars in debt.

Hillary spent more per delegate in Pennsylvania, her old homestead, than in California!!

Ray Taliferro was talking about this last night.

Hillary had 6 weeks to throw the kitchen sink at Obama - why can't she get more than a 10% win over him?
