Check with official results - she won by 8.5%. NRO Corner talking about it. All the cable channels stuck with the double-digit meme. Conspiracy, sloppiness, or script?

Hehehehe, I bet the Obama supporters over at the DUmp will see this as a intentional conspiracy to sink their guy.

Going to be fun to watch when they notice it.

8.5% isn't accurate either. The results are still UNOFFICIAL people. Only 99.1% has been counted. It may end up at 8%, or it could bump up to 9%.

She won by 8.5% - Not 10%

Ms. Chung urged her, “Why don’t you just whisper it to me, just between you and me.”

Closer to 9.38% with less than a percent still not counted. Not that it matters. Still, I’m for anything that keeps this circus going.

It’s still an ass-kickin’. He outspent her three-to-one and had his unions out in force.
As long as there’s a way to steal it, she’s still alive, just like Gore in 2000.

If you take only the Clinton and Obama numbers (no Gravel, etc.) it is 54.69% to 45.31% Which makes the individual % round to 55 and 45, even though the actual margin is 9.38% and should be rounded down, if anything. I consider it simple sloppiness. They are reading 55 to 45 and calling it 10%.

Frankly, it’s close enough. The real number that counts at this point (besides simply winning) is delegate count and raw votes numbers. Clinton gets all of 14 net delegates, woo-hoo! She has also put a 200,000 vote dent in Obama’s popular vote lead. She won’t get another chance to roll up those kind of numbers, and will surely lose ground in North Carolina.

This is true, but Mrs. Clinton had the entire Pennsylvania Democrat Party apparatus working for her, from Rendell on down. Also, the largish homosexual population in Pittsburgh is solid Clinton. I also suspect the teachers' unions went CLinton.

It was probably double-digits until the final Philly results were reported. They're 120% turnout of registered voters I'm sure impacted the final tally.

Ehhh, not so much. Not too long ago she was ahead of Obama by over 20% there, and PA was supposedly a state with more of her voters. Her net gain in delegates supposedly didn’t get her too much closer to him. I’ve read anywhere from 3-10 net. We’ll see as they sort this out.

I thought only the lesbians were in her camp, that the butt pirates went for one of their own.

The “Democratic” party won’t let the voice of the people be heard too loudly.
As a commission salesman I’ve always thought that complicated rules were designed to screw me. I think no less of the complex Dem nominating rules.

Rove had a great comment to day on “F&F”: If FL and MI are counted, Hillary may very well win the popular vote, too!!
