MSNBC Calls Pennsylvania for Clinton (nt)

[Skinner]

[Klukie]

1. Shit n/t

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

2. Skinner, don't you wonder why they call it with only 1% of votes counted?

as an election integrity advocate, I can tell you that they
don't know what those votes are.

They haven't all been tallied up, reported or accumulated.

[Lil Missy]

4. They base it on exit polling too. n/t

[dbmk]

8. Exit polls

Which historically are extremely accurate. Not saying they are this time. But thats why.

And it does look like Hillary wins. But by a SMALL lead.

[proud patriot]

70. I know, I wonder

It seems every election , that people want a speedy
result ...

what's the hurry ? :think:

[Shine]

3. we'll see by how much, though

[Zachstar]

5. Well atleast it took over half an hour to do so.

My guess is that it is HIGHLY unlikely that Clinton won more than 10 percent

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Congratulations to the Clinton Campaign!

...although the margin of victory is the true barometer of victory.

[Fluffdaddy]

7. Told ya

:headbang:

[dbmk]

12. I think EVERYONE called this as a Hillary victory

But I'll give you a "Why, congratulations on displaying such supreme insight" anyways.

[Zhade]

24. Yeah, no one's really surprised at this one - except that she won despite all her lies.

That part is worrying, so many will just let a proven liar succeed. Sad.

[hendo]

43. if she wins by less than 10%...

It is a victory for Obama.

[Fluffdaddy]

53. Nice way to "try" and spin a HUGE win by Hillary as meaning nothing

[Catherine Vincent]

9. With 0% reporting?

nt

[Justitia]

10. at 3%???

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. she was expected to win

[Shine]

13. How can they call it with only 3% of the vote in??

I don't get it. :shrug:

[tigereye]

54. it's weird how they do that - it's statistical, somehow

Hey my friend!

[OzarkDem]

14. I'm sending her a donation

Come on, folks! Let's put a Dem back in the White House!

[Austinitis]

19. I am too in just a little bit.

:)

[Zhade]

25. We will!

It's just that his name will be Obama.

[Austinitis]

31. You better send 5 for my 1

Because Obama apparently needs to outspend her by at least that much to make it even a close loss.


Sad...

Really, why can't he get it together?

[MoonRiver]

46. Done!

:woohoo: Give em hell Hill!! :kick:

[malaise]

15. With 3% of the votes counted

They make 2004 look like serious fraud...oh yes it was serious fraud.

[dancingme]

16. 53% - 47%

so far, not a big win.

[rocktivity]

29. Is that statewide, or just Philly?

:shrug:
rocknation

[ErinBerin84]

17. As an Obama supporter, congrats to Clinton supporters.

Now let's see the margin! Haha.

outSPENT 3 to 1 !

I considered watching MSNBC, but seriously, doesn't everyone know everyone's lines by now?

[NashVegas]

18. Brokaw: "White Women of a Certain Age"

Oy.

[Justitia]

22. I have to say, it's giving me pause.

[ErinBerin84]

23. Did he really say that?

Wow, that's a beaut. Good job, Brokaw, on your sophisticated analysis.

[Justitia]

26. Yup, Russert too. They are reading the demographics.

[KoKo]

40. Yes...he really said that...."wink, wink, nod, nod" was how he did it...disgusting...

:puke: Brokaw is a "man of a certain age." :rofl:

[NashVegas]

44. Indeed

What do you reckon his Viagra bill comes to?

[OzarkDem]

27. I'm a teenager compared to Brokaw

better educated, too.

[Justitia]

30. Russert & Brokaw say it's Older (50+), No College, White Women doing this.

I have no idea if you fit that demographic, but those are the demographics they say are keeping this primary going. Russert said that voting bloc just wants a lady candidate, the general election doesn't matter to them beyond that.

[OzarkDem]

34. Over 50, post graduate degree

Most Clinton supporters I know are the same, also a lot of PhDs. Most of the physicians I know support her too, men and women.

[Justitia]

37. Well, it sounds like you do fit most of that demographic then, unless you're non-white. -eom

[ShaneGR]

51. My grandmother is very bitter about this election.....

She had it in her head that Clinton was going to be the first woman President. She was one of the same kind of voters in Ohio, absolutely refused to even think of not voting for Clinton. She is 78 years old, white, didn't attend college because she had four kids, and the sweetest little old lady you could ever meet.

I think I can talk her into voting for Obama in the General, there are some racial issues to work out but not too bad anymore. But I'm just pointing to the differences in every single kind of person, especially little old white ladies. :-)

[Marie26]

33. The condescension doesn't help Obama

Someone should notify the MSNBC team about that.

[OzarkDem]

35. Brokaw's mad cause a Dem will win the WH

He'll probably dis anyone who beats McCain.

[Justitia]

39. Uh, that came from demographic info by Russert & Brokaw. -eom

[Marie26]

41. Not the descriptions

I don't watch MSNBC because the commentators are so biased for Obama, it's annoying. Demos are one thing, but if he really described "women of a certain age" who don't care about the election & "just want to see a lady", that's massively condescending. It's the same kind of thing that turned off working-class voters.

[Justitia]

42. Russert said "over 50", no college, white women. Brokaw said "of a certain age" -eom

[NashVegas]

47. I'm Watching MSNBC Because They're So Blatantly Tossing It To Obama

It's entertainment, all this equivocating.

[Justitia]

20. And now Brokaw is saying it's because of the Old Uneducated White Woman vote too.

Tim Russert already said that voting bloc is what is keeping this primary going - they just want a lady candidate.

[Zhade]

21. Expected, and with a margin so narrow it doesn't even help clinton.

Sweet. Would have preferred a win, but hey - Obama's still winning handily.

[Maddy McCall]

28. Thanks!

[imax2268]

32. how

can they call it yet...?

[Marie26]

36. Great!

They called that pretty quick.

[cboy4]

38. Wow! And so many people were calling for Hillary Clinton

to throw in the towel!!111!

:wow:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

45. WOOT WOOT!

[Pastiche423]

48. Can you all say "brokered convention"?

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[smalll]

59. Can we all say "AL GORE"?

I like Hillary, but still - :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Pastiche423]

65. I do not like Hillary

but I sure as hell can say AL GORE!

[Fox Mulder]

63. If it goes that way...

it'll be a loss for the Dem come November.

[Pastiche423]

66. It will be a loss for the Dems in November

if Clinton manages to steal the nomination.

If it's Al Gore, we win!

[progressoid]

49. With 16% reporting CNN has Clinton @ 53%

[KAZ]

50. That's nice Skinner. What the fuck kind of post is this?

[Skinner]

52. ?

[PetraPooh]

55. Yeah, that was my thought, it seems quite telling to me. Either

he is for Clinton or he is overly enjoying the vitriol on the site and is perhaps instigating some more for the evening.

[Swamp Rat]

58. Whoa! Chill out y'all!

[KAZ]

61. Luv ya Swamp. I have a problem with the owner.

[Swamp Rat]

62. Thanks

What did he do that was wrong, regarding this thread? :shrug:

[KAZ]

64. Starting it. He should have done a puppet if he felt so inclined.

[PeaceNikki]

67. Chillax. He stated a fact with no opinion.

He didn't so much as offer congrats or throw in a "YAY! HILLARY!" anywhere.

[KAZ]

68. Yeah, maybe you're right.

[underpants]

56. Congrats nt

[Swamp Rat]

57. Congrats Hillary Clinton!

:applause:

[book_worm]

60. It comes down to margin now and it seems likely Clinton won't get the kind of big victory she needed

Obama made up a lot of ground. Don't you agree, Skinner?

[FlyingSquirrel]

69. What else can I do in response to that news...

But kick this thread again!
