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"
so it is fun to watch the Hillbots celebrate it looks like it won't last long though
