Pennsylvania Primary Update

Sphere: Related Content

Reports say PA is experiencing record turnout:

Pennsylvania is on its way to the record turnout that election officials have been predicting for weeks, according to poll workers from across the state.

Election officials were reporting extremely heavy voter activity in many of the state’s 67 counties throughout the morning, starting with long lines reported even before the polls opened at 7 a.m.

“Let’s just say it’s very busy,” said Joseph Passarella, the director of voter services for Montgomery County, sounding a little harried. “Our phones have been ringing since 6:15 this morning and have been ringing nonstop. We’ve never had a primary election this busy.”
Not surprising as the weather is nice and people have had six-weeks to decide and get set in their choice. IF people are passionate about either candidate, they'll ve at the polls.

The polling seems to indicate enough of a Hillary edge for her to stake her claim about being the more electable candidate IMAO...either that or I'm optimistic that this slugfest will continue on for another few months, or better yet into the summer and the convention. It's fun watching the libs pummel each other for half a year.

I'm sticking by 10% even though the Hillary camp calls Drudge's scoop yesterday erroneous in an effort to not seem to close to the right-leaning Internet behemoth.

although nothing like the kind of momentum that she needs to win the eventual nomination. Right now, it looks as though Obama will finish the primaries with a delegate lead of around 153 above the magic number lead of 150 delegates.That prediction assumes Clinton wins by 6 or 7 points today, and gains a net 10 delegate advantage. So, that’s her baseline… I think she needs to win by at least 10 points to retain any sort of a hope in the overall race and even then, she will still need a complete collapse by Obama in the remaining states.
