Ohio exit polls showed her winning 54-44 and she won 54-44

Today they show her winning 51.64-47.78. That's Clinton plus almost 4.

 

And as I said earlier, exit polls have been typically within 1.5%.

Well, I'm not trying to Jinx it, but I think that everyone would read a 52-48 result as essentially playing Taps.

ESPECIALLY if he ties or wins more delegates. Her whole "press to the end" is based on delegates. If she cant take away at LEAST 7 here, she as a real hard road to climb even WITH superdelegate support.

She needs an AWFUL lot more than 7. She needed a big score here to close the gap. Obama can simply split races through the end of June, and by then he'd have it in the bag. She needed double digits to at least make some of the metrics start going her way, especially with North Carolina likely to offset a chunk of this one and Indiana and Oregon looking like decent Obama territory.

I agree 100%, but 7+ makes her "viable" to many including herself. A LOSS of delegates is a HUGE blow.

I have said since TX and OH that this was over.

In normal person reality, yes. not in ClintonLand. This is a resounding win to them. She carried another major state. Therefor Obama is unelectable.

Fox calls it for Clinton.

MSNBC calls it for Clinton. but i still think this is a 5 point game.

According to CNN's website, they haven't projected a winner yet.

I love how they're acting like this is such a shock.

What's the point of saying it's too close to call at 8:15 but then calling it when 1% of the votes are in?

I guess the computers don't think it was THAT close.

CNN calls it for Clinton.

SHOCKED.

 

Er I mean...

 

SHOCKED.

As long as it stays single digit percentage, Obama should be ok, correct? I suck at this stuff.

Best line of the night from a Clinton supporter...

"look at the shear grit of the candidate. look how she has fought." What grit?? She was up 20 six weeks ago and is going to win by just 4-6 points. Yea, look at that grit that cant hold a lead and might have not even had THIS big of a lead if it werent for lapel pin-gate and bitter-gate. She LOST PA, even if she won it.

Looks like once the PA suburbs are in, Clinton will win by around 5% or so. Maybe up to 7%. This is far froma huge win for her. not a game change. it freezes people like it did after TX and OH. but nothing major. not a game changer.

I think she won because Chelsea went gay bar hoping ;)

If Obama holds at 8 points back it's kind of a status quo night I guess. Not close enough for Obama to run around claiming he exceeded expectations but he's still got a huge delegate lead, and while Clinton is way behind in delegates this was a good victory for her, but not a surprisingly good one.

CNN has Hillary up 8% pts with 67% of the vote in.

Montgomery and Chester County still have a lot to report. I think it'll drop to 6.

 

There was projected to be between 2 million to 2.5 million who voted.

That means with 76% of PRECINCTS in, 348,570-848,570 votes have yet to be counted.

word...

 

May 6 will be the knockout blow. There's no possible way to spin that.

Up to 10 pct.

Is Obama going to spin this with how much he closed the gap in the last month or so? Didn't the polls show her about 20 points up at one point?

CNN seems to think it's going to be a double digit win now. If the Sox go on to lose, this was quite a s***ty night.
