Hillary Wins Pennsylvania, Networks Project
MSNBC, Fox, ABC and CBS call it for Hillary.
With three percent reporting, it's 53%-47%.
Late Update: Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee gives us the instant spin from the Hillary camp about the impact tonight's victory will have on the super-delegates:
"There's beginning to be a subtle shift of psychology of a lot of the uncommitted supers," Elleithee said. "[They] are beginning to wonder why Obama has been unable to win this thing despite all the advantages he has.""There's a lot of questions that are beginning to surface about him," he said, while superdelegates are learning that "every time she's got her back up against the wall, she delivers."
There were reports today that a bloc of supers were preparing to break to Obama. It will be interesting to see if that materializes -- and also interesting to see if Hillary's Pennsylvania win translates into a greater corralling of super-del support than she's been able to pull off thus far.
Late Update: Hillary top adviser Terry McAuliffe spins Hillary's victory, arguing that the pledged del count shouldn't necessarily decide who the Dem primary winner was.
McAuliffe also brazenly predicts that Hillary will win the popular vote in the end -- Florida included, of course.
Late Update: New exit poll numbers from tonight show that whoever wins the nomination, many Dems in Pennsylvania are at risk of defecting to McCain.
Late Update: The latest numbers: With 57% reporting, Hillary leads by 10 points, 55%-45%. Of course, as Chuck Todd just said on MSNBC, some precincts likely to heavily favor Obama have yet to be counted. So we'll see.
Late Update: In her victory speech, Hillary primes her supporters for the tough road ahead.
Late Update: Obama kicks off his concession speech, and graciously concedes that Hillary "ran a terrific race."
Late Update: With nearly 80% reporting, Hillary leads by 10 points, 55%-45%.
