Clinton wins most delegates in Pennsylvania primary (81-70)

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press Writer Wed Apr 23, 1:47 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the most delegates in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary.


Clinton won at least 81 of the 158 delegates up for grabs in Tuesday's contest, according to an analysis of election returns by The Associated Press. Sen. Barack Obama won at least 70, with seven still to be awarded.

The final delegate count was delayed because many of Pennsylvania's counties are split into multiple congressional districts. Pennsylvania awards delegates according to the statewide vote as well as the vote in individual congressional districts.

Election officials were expected to continue working Wednesday to assign votes from split counties to the appropriate congressional districts.

Also Wednesday, Obama and Clinton each picked up a superdelegate endorsement.

8. Sour grapes? Nobody expected Obama to win yesterday

You folks are acting like Hillary just won the nomination, when the fact is she still has a HUGE uphill battle.

Yes, it's good that she won Pennsylvania, but she was originally up by as much as 20 points. This was supposed to be a blow-out loss for Obama, yet he managed to claw his way back into contention, picking up a few extra delegates for himself.

3. In other news

A recent study has answered the age old question - "Is a drowning person thirsty?"

The answer is - No.

4. Whoop-dee-do

She picked up a whopping net gain of 11 delegates, and this is what you folks are dancing in the streets about?

You do realize that Hillary has to win by overwhelming margins (32%) in EACH of the remaining primaries just to pass Obama in pledged delegates, eh?

5. I wouldn't count on that number If I was you

"The latest on the Pennsylvania delegate count, for those quaint enough to think that delegates should still decide an election based on, well, delegates:
two different districts just had (opposite) delegate-split changes thanks to the new numbers: CD 7 flipped from 4-3 Obama to 4-3 Clinton (though it’s still in play, with 8% of precincts yet to report and Obama with an INF+2N number of only 3.72%). Meanwhile, CD 13 behaved the way commenters jpmassar and jlkenney have been arguing for several hours that it would: that district has moved from 5-2 Clinton to 4-3 Clinton, erasing her net gain from CD 7. (And with 99% reporting, CD 13 is pretty much finished.) So we’re still at Clinton +10, but with the CD 7 uncertainty (plus live contests remaining in CDs 10 and 12) there seems to me to be an outside shot at reducing that to +8 or beyond.

Meanwhile, as the INF+2N numbers show, Clinton is unlikely to gain any more net delegates from Pennsylvania. Her only slim chance would be turning CD 11 into a 4-1 split for her; to get there she’d need about 75% of the remaining ~70,000 uncounted votes in CD 11 to be Clinton votes.

If you're wondering what all that INF+2N stuff is, it's apparently "math". It took me a while to figure it out, but it's pretty cool stuff. But the bottom line -- Clinton +10, but Obama still has a chance of picking up three more net delegates as the vote counts finish up. The final spread will be Clinton +7-10 delegates. Not a particularly good night for her"

Remember delegates count change when all the votes are tallied

11. If I were you, Id start talking about popular vote and not argue delegates

Its a losing argument.

13. Too bad for her we don't live in the United States of Pennsylvania n/t

[Barack_America]

14. You might want to be careful of pushing the "delegates matter" thing.

It's, um, not exactly what your candidate is banking on.

[rodeodance]

15. Sure are a lot of BHO sour grapes posting today.

[LSK]

16. hey, we have to mourn the loss of those 11 delegates

We had big plans, BIG PLANS with those 11.

:cry:

18. So tragic...

:cry:

19. We're just trying to bring you people back to reality

Your candidate squeaks out a win in a state that she was expected to win by a huge margin, and suddenly most of you act like she's on the verge of wrapping up the nomination.

I like how you and everyone else is IGNORING the fact that Hillary still has to win every single primary from here on out by about 30 points just to pass Obama in pledged delegates.

17. Trails by 160!!!
