Nice. Millions of Pennsylvanians still refer to African-Americans as "colored". Really? Where did you get this marvelous sociological data? Oh, I know. All voters in the Midwest are stupid racists. You rabid supporters of Obama love that one. Like I said before, I like Obama, god save us from his supporters...

Hillary's phony "win"
Many of today's Clinton voters in Pennsylvania will vote for McCain in the fall, regardless of whether the nominee is Hillary or Obama, for the following reasons:
1.Abortion.
2.Gay marriage
3.The US faces annihilation and only the intrepid war hero McCain can save us from being overrun by the Islamic hordes wishing to establish a Caliphate with its capitol in Pittsburgh.
Let's say she wins by a 15 points margin in a state she should win by a 40 point margin, and 30 to 50 percent of her supporters vote for crazy McCain in November. It would actually mean that she has suffered a great defeat today. On the other hand, every preson who voted for Obama today in Pennsylvania, would vote for him in November.

Attention, Salon. It IS over
And your blatant attempts to drive traffic based on this entirely trumped-up "battle" are, well, working.
Kudos to you for recognizing that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

@pantanal
You keep coming up with these numbers and assertions about who will vote which way and whose supporters are genuine. The truth is no one knowns this. Will all the people who voted for a candidiate today vote for that same candidate in a general election? No. But you have no way of knowing whose support is softer. Remember 4 years ago when Kerry was going to ride the youth vote to the White House? Then no youths showed up. Could happen again. No one knowns.

Shouldn't they just skip...
...the rest of the primary elections and have the Obamites decide on everyones behalf?
I mean only the Obama-annointed really should have the right to have a say.
Don't you think so?

Hogwash!
Again, let us repeat for you morons: the only ones who want her to quit are short-sighted obamabots. If you think we need to end the primaries now for the sole reason of 'focusing' on the GE you are wrong. Every potential voter in this country is benefitting from this contest as it is bringing the Democrats front and center every single day! McCain's campaign news is beneath the fold. Clinton and Obama (i.e., The Democrats) are media stars...McCain, who's he?
Once it's over, the media will shift to 75% McCain and 25% Obama - and mostly about Obama's shortcomings I am sure. Shut up and let it play out.

One more thing
"Let's say she wins by a 15 points margin in a state she should win by a 40 point margin, and 30 to 50 percent of her supporters vote for crazy McCain in November. It would actually mean that she has suffered a great defeat today. On the other hand, every preson who voted for Obama today in Pennsylvania, would vote for him in November."

First, a little history. PA voted for both Kerry and Gore in the last 2 cycles. The gays, God, and guns ploy did not work on that state. As for the Clinton vote in PA eroding, but the Obama vote staying strong, that would kindly be called a "guess", unless you have some sort of alternate reality viewing machine. Again, no one knows, so why not play it out until the end...
Also, nice bit of preemptive spin about how a victory of 15 points is really a defeat. Did you work as a press secretary for GWB?

Well one thing is for sure - McCain supporters sure don't want her to quit - in fact they would be delighted if HRC turned everything around and WON the nomination. Now why do you suppose that is?

AND ALLOW THE GOP MEDIA TO KEEP CREATING FALSE NARRATIVES? nO THANKS

Allowing the media to become the story, and the determinars of all things politics amoungst themselves, got us in this mess.
allow the gop media to continue to cover-up and create false narratives? No thanks. Not is the time to stomp on the rush/hannity/o'liely/savage/fox gossipers. If clitnon loses pa using their tactics, what does that say about the gop bobbleheads? Irrelevant? Which is better? to let it play out and play their games and steal elections liek they always do? Or combat and call them out aon their gossip and heresay. Their gop false narratives. I'm with the latter.
How far we have come. just 5 years ago truth was not even allowed in this gop rpopoganda media/world. How far we have come to the point of shutting the fascist propogandists down. Stop now. why on earth would we want to do that? You not a sympathtic republcain trying to get us to back down out of fear, are ya tropicalli :)

Ha?
Just trying to have a little fun. You don't have to be a cock.
Are you and Cythera born of the same brother and sister?
Is anyone else incredibly tired of Salon letter threads?
