PA Dem Primary Live Blogging II

9:23 PM

Ohh god. I don’t think I can sit here and listen to all the lies coming out of the Clinton campaign.

Chris Matthews is squeezing McAuliffe on delegates vs. popular vote, but of course that doesn’t matter to Team Clinton. They won the Democratic nomination tonight to hear them tell it.

Clinton argument: Popular vote is more important than delegate vote and Hillary was just granted that by magic I suppose. All Democratic primary rules before tonight are meaningless. Team Clinton just wrote all the new rules.

Well, it looks like Russert was right on one thing. Terry McAuliffe just said, “Hillary Clinton will move ahead in the popular vote.” How many truckloads of voters did McAuliffe take into PA today.

Russert says Clinton is in to stay regardless of the margin and North Carolina is essential. He also doesn’t have a clue what the margin will be, but at least admits it. Says Clinton will go full throttle on the spin. Gives the impression that Clinton will treat as if Obama didn’t get a single vote.

David Gregory and Pat Buchanan are just giddy with Clinton’s victory. She’s in this game now!!!!

These are the nim-wits that said Clinton had to have an overwhelming victory to stay in and now they’re beside themselves and haven’t a clue about how much she won by

And the number continues to drop.

Fineman: Clinton started twisting the arms of superdelegates as soon as the networks called her the winner. Never mind the margin of victory.
