If only gotalife had donated the maximum $2300!

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Obama must be near to running that many in NC. I live in SC, but am in the Asheville, NC viewing area. Thank God for TIVO because there is an Obama ad on every three seconds.

Drudge ... not that he to be completely believed had "exclusive internals" that showed eleven points... my hope is for something closer. I'd love to see an upset.

Gee, whining? That's so unlike her campaign!

Alright - too close to call as of 8:01 p.m. Might be a long night...although I think that the cities will come in early and the rural areas come in later, so it might look good for Obama early and then his numbers will whittle down over the night.

Excuses excuses from the HRC campaign.

Seriously though, my Tivo is going to be working overtime this year to avoid watching 10,000 ads on any candidate or issue. I'd jump out the window before November.

He spent three times more than Clinton, went negative and still lost.

What a waste of your money.

Shorter Hillary: "We're outraised, outspent, and running out of cash... and that's precisely why Hillary should get the nomination. Honest! Stop laughing!"

O come on, Hillary the bullet dodger, why can SHE close it? Where is the unbeatable Hillary Clinton?

For pete's sake. You go up against the inevitable establishment candidate who refuses to drop out despite the fact she can't win, you raise more money, and you spend more money to try to convince Clinton to drop out.

Is this the losing strategy? What the hell should Obama do? Agree to spend as little as Clinton? This is just Clinton spin, being 'reported'. If Clinton had outspent Obama, this would not be such an issue.

If he pulls within 10 points, I say money well spent.

I never expected Clinton to lose in PA and she won't. However, I think she is now enjoying he victory about as much as Napoleon savored his victor over Russia when he entered Moscow in 1812. She is totally broke. Her husband again showed that he is totally oblivious to the disastrous damage caused by his "white privilege" run amok (the next primary is North Carolina!)Her reputation as a stand up Democrat is no longer viable. And, this is what takes the biscuit, Clinton, didn't get anywhere near the 65-35 break down needed to make a significant dent in Obama's delegate lead. All in all, a great night for Obama. The $$$$ was well spent. Clinton should have carried PA by at least 20% in her sleep.
She worked like a dog and exhausted her fortune to tread water when she should have been walking on it.

I don't buy the 100 Obama ads thing - I guess in the east end of Pittsburgh where I'm at, it's pretty solid Obama country, but even discounting targeted comcast spotlight ad buys, I would guess I've seen maybe 10 Obama ads tops and I watch a fair amount of tv.

I think you meant to say...

"The FABULOUS Hillary campaign, WISELY relying on ROCK SOLID figures GENEROUSLY supplied by its TALENTED media buyer, QUITE CORRECTLY sends out these EXTREMELY startling facts about Obama's DISTURBING ad spending in Pennsylvania"

No hard feelins. Just had to do it.

O - and did I mention that every single top person in Hillary's campaign loathes every other single top person in Hillary's campaign?

What a nice, well run organization it sounds like.

One of the CNN commentators just said Bill Ayers was "serious business". Lawl.

Don't worry. BillyGlad,Louisville0000,GoatLife and the other folks are gonna swoop in to save her!

I hear Marginal Player is tap dancing for change in Times Square right now. When the rest link up with him and they do their street minstrel show hello moola!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, if only those small contributors would stop unfairly disadvantaging Clinton by not giving her money.

This has been one of the campaign's dumbest strategies, appealing for pity for not being able to run an efficient ship.

With 6% reporting, CNN has it at 52%-48%, which certainly looks better than a 10-11% difference... which, frankly, I thought would be fairly good news in itself.

Both Fox and NBC have apparently called it, but given that this is really Hillary's last big chance, it's hard not to see this as good news so far.

This is a great comeback for Obama, who was trailing by as many as 26 points!

This was Clinton's last shot to pull off a big, meaningful victory, and she's only ekeing out a relatively tiny win... very close to what Obama's campaign were predicting months ago, despite the entire kitchen sink being thrown at him!

This night will end with Hillary Clinton needing about twice as many delegates to win as Barack Obama does... and it's not going to get prettier for her in Guam, North Carolina, and Indiana. It would be very surprising to imagine the superdels not putting him over the top shortly after North Carolina and Indiana.

If she can't win Indiana by 15%, it's hard to imagine this race lasting until the convention... and if Obama wins, it's all over.

I just took a look at the calculations, and the areas that haven't reported yet, and I can confidently say that Hillary Clinton will *NOT* break the 10% barrier in Pennsylvania.

She should be coming in at about a 9.5 point edge or lower, as most of the late reporting areas are from Obama territory, including 16% of Lancaster county, 3% of Philadelphia, 3% of Delaware county, and 63% of Chester county still to report, all trending Obama. 37% of Montgomery is also still to report, but it is very evenly split, and should drop Clinton's percentage accordingly.

There are a similar number of counties still to report entirely that are for Clinton, but they are very small, and shouldn't effect the statistics significantly.

So no... not 10%. Currently 9.8% and dropping at a healthy clip, with 95% reporting!
