Win PA, Lose PA...it doesn't matter much
With polls all over the place, I really have no idea what to expect tomorrow, but here's the thing...I don't care that much. Unless Hillary wins by 25%, it doesn't change much. Obama will still lead the popular vote. Obama will still lead by 100+ delegates. Camp Hillary will spin the win to be some sort of milestone victory that will change the outcome of the Primary. The press will ask a million questions. Most of those questions will be unimportant. We'll go to North Carolina where Obama will win by 25% and erase most of the gains Hillary got in PA.

So everyone take a deep breath, have a glass of wine or bake some cookies, and relax.

1. Actually, if she wins by 25% in a large turnout, she's erased the popular vote lead.
Even omitting Florida and Michigan.

There are 4,000,000 Democrats in Pennsylvania.

4. But she's not going to win by 25%
and all 4 million registered Dems in PA are not going to turn out. Judging from previous contests, it'll be about 30% of that. So there goes that argument.

8. if I become a millionaire tomorrow, I will be flying first class. but it
will never happen. 25%? Never happen. The larger the turnout, it favors Obama.

6. you spin me WRIGHT round baby WRIGHT round round like a record baby
:rofl:


Perhaps you should join with the thread that theorizes that Hillary STOLE the PA votes, even though they've not been cast yet. :rofl:


Maybe you should up the percentage she has to win by to SIX ZILLION PERCENT so you can feel better.

Maybe you should stay in bed tomorrow.
