It looks like Ms. C. has won the Keystone State by a clean ten points.
Precincts Reporting: 93%
winner: Hillary Clinton
Candidate | # of votes | % of total | # of delegates |
---|---|---|---|
Hillary Clinton | 1,148,600 | 54.79% | 52 |
Barack Obama | 947,730 | 45.21% | 46 |
Because of the Democratic system of proportional representation, this will net Senator Clinton about 6 delegates.
Here is what is wrong with that. In the general election, Pennsylvania will go one way or the other. It won't split 55/45. If Obama can't win a contest among Democrats in Pennsylvania, can he win when he has to compete for independents and Republicans? A rational primary system would give the state's delegates to the candidate who was likely to win the state in November.
