I'm very disappointed
in western PA.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the so far 6% spread, but I REALLY thought western PA would go more for Barack.

Oh, well. I was hoping it would end tonight. I was hoping that this would be the last late night I would have to suffer until Nov. At least it wasn't a double digit win for her.

Don't get me wrong, I WILL vote for the Dem. nominee, but it will take a lot of warming up for me to vote for Hillary in the fall.

14. It is called racism, the elderly do not wish to vote for a black man period
I know plenty of them from Iowa where I grew up, it is really sad though.

5. As you get older you are more resistant to change
fact of life. Nothing wrong with it, you just get set in your ways.

This is what makes Obama so special. He's inspiring young people to get political. There hasn't been a candidate to do that in a long time. The problem we are having is the old guard doesn't want to let go. That's why they make fun of the change and hope slogans. Change to them is bad. I'm looking forward to seeing the voter turnout in the GE.

8. And you get a little wiser as well.
Having seen "movements" like this pop up and deflate numerous times.

9. You mean in PA?
There's only one more county to report in - Chester Co. in the Philly area. I doubt, even if she takes it, that it will be enough to put her in the double digits.

13. He's doing great, if the margin is below 8%! That's fantastic!
That's why I told a couple of posters in recent days to quit predicting that Obama would win PA. It simply was practically impossible. PA is a home state of sorts for Hillary. She was ALWAYS expected to win.

Anything less than a 10% margin would be a victory for Obama. I didn't even allow myself to think he decrease the margin to below 8%. If he did that, that is REMARKABLE! It shows once and for all that Clinton cannot win, if she can only do a 6% win in a sort-of home state.

16. Right now the gap is 10.1%
With 85% in.

If the final gap is 2 digits it will only be just barely. Probably gonna be just barely above or below 10%.
