Official Pennsylvania Democratic Primary Discussion Thread

[War on Want]

Pennsylvania has now offically aboard the failed boat, along with New Hampshire, California, Texas, and Ohio. Hillary Clinton is the captain.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'm so glad we don't have to face her in November

The exit polls show Clinton got 57% of the Jewish vote, 7% of the total vote for the state. That is why Montco is doing what it is doing, I suspect.

Remember when I was laughed at for predicting an Obama victory in Dauphin?

[Eraserhead]

There are too many white people in this country. That's the problem.

Kill yourself right now. 

No thanks whitey.

I'm not white. 

What are you?

Greenpages is reporting Obama taking PA-2 5 to 4!  PA-1 is a one delegate win as of 10:00 PM.  PA-13 is a one delegate win.

Right now, Obama can really only win CD's 1, 2, 13, 16, 17.  The only clear win is PA-2.  The last three are still out.  He cannot win any of those by more than 1 net delegate.

Obama's lead in Dauphin is actually increasing.

A lot of idiots there near the capital.

Racist comment.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow... you guys are in victim mode hard core.

You know why Obama is ahead in Dauphin right? If you're saying it's because there's a lot of idiots and thus the two are connected...

Wow... reaching a bit there, aren't we?  Dauphin county is whiter than Allegheny and Lancaster is whiter than both of them, tool.

What's with Chester and Potter?

[Person Man]

What's with Chester and Potter?

ballot stuffing, duh...

For those who want to hear about something other than Pennsylvania, the MS-01 special election result is tight. 48-48 with the Democrat in the lead by just over 300 votes with 94% reporting. If no one gets over 50%, it goes to a special election in May. (This may seem likely, but the results have seen wild swings in both directions on very small % reporting as MS is starkly divided.)

Casey appears not to have been one hell of an asset to Obama; now Rendell for Clinton, on the other hand

Why do you say that about Casey?  This election is much closer than it was looking even a week ago, isn't it?

Not close enough

Almost as much of Obama's support comes from young, wide-eyed, idealistic, upper-middle class, lower-upper class white people and their yuppie parents as from blacks.  Well, not as much, but a significant percentage.  Harrisburg is waste deep in them.

[12th Doctor]

And now we are going to cut to Obama who will deliver the same speech he's given for the past 4 years.

[Joe Biden 2020]

And now we are going to cut to Obama who will deliver the same speech he's given for the past 4 years.

Oh, Good.  Nap Time.

[Eraserhead]

I can't wait for Obama to thrash her in NC and finally end this.

[Verily]

Obama slips into the lead in Delaware County (75% in).

[Alcon]

Chris, sedatives.  For real.

For those wondering about the Obama win in Union County:  Bucknell University.

Clinton just hit double digits.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

YES WE WILL!

I can't wait to hear Obama. I bet its the time as Iowa, NH, etc ...

[Gustaf]

10.02%.

Yep.

[Person Man]

8 points with 72%. Want to go with 54-46? I predicted that, by the way.

Those numbers are way stale.

I was expecting Luzerne to be much better for Obama. What happened?

You just don't understand Luzerne.

I knew it would be for Clinton and expected it to vote for her at around 60% but not 75%....

Isn't CLinton's family from that area - besides, ethnic Catholics...

Clinton's family's from Scranton, but they're very similar.

Current numbers for Luzerne County:
    (WITH 113 OF 189 PRECINCTS COUNTED 59.79%)
 Hillary Clinton  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     30,077   75.85        30,077             0
 Barack Obama  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      9,456   23.85         9,456             0
 WRITE-IN.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .        119     .30           119             0

Hilary's family is from Scranton, but it's only 20 minutes away from the more populated northern part of Luzerne County, so it makes sense.

Finally getting numbers from Lackawanna....
62% of precinct in (106 of 170)
Clinton - 26286  74.3%
Obama - 9088   25.6%

Latest from Luzerne Co: at 10:30pm
    (WITH 189 OF 189 PRECINCTS COUNTED)
 Hillary Clinton  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     46,189   74.79        46,189             0
 Barack Obama  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     15,323   24.81        15,323             0
