Uh, You do realize that Obama officially became the Democratic nominee tonight. 9.4% simply wasn't enough for the hildabeast. She needed 20+. She came up way, way short.

Obama never was going to win Pennsylvania. Anyone with a brain knew that.

He did what he needed to do. He kept her under 10%. She can't even claim a moral victory.

The net delegate gain that the banshee made out of Pennsylvania will be obliterated by Obama's upcoming victory in North Carolina.

This is over.

Sorry, but while you are correct that Clinton needed a huge win to reduce Obama's lead, this is a moral victory far larger than anyone thought was possible on Monday.

The pundits setup the criteria. Anything less than a 5 point margin would be an Obama victory. Anything near a 10 point margin would be a Clinton win.

Yes, Clinton cannot overcome Obama's lead, but this keeps her in the race into Indiana, etc.

You hit the nail on the head. Hillary had a 20 point lead some time ago. He narrowed it to below ten points. That is enough to keep her in the race, but it is far short of what she needed to have any significant possibility of winning the nomination. Plus, Obama can make a legitimate claim that it would have been much closer due to Operation Chaos.

I did the math too. How does 9.4% equal a “double digit” lead that Fox keeps claiming. The numbers on the screen = 9.39% That rounds to 9.4% or 9%, not 10%. It was said that she needed a double digit win to stay in. She fell short, but Fox is giving it to her anyway.
