While we're desperately waiting for some conclusive results, here are some scraps of info coming from the internet and those notoriously unreliable exit polls. Eat it up wit' Whiz!
- Wonkette is watching every single cable channel all at once so you don't have to!
- Huffington Post says exit polls are splitting on gender lines Women: Clinton 55; Obama 44; Men: Clinton 47; Obama 53.
- According to the Associated Press women and older voters came out in force, encouraging signs for Hillary Clinton.
- Politico reports that Obama is preparing to spin loss as a victory.
- Exit polls from ABC found two-thirds of Pennsylvania voters in preliminary exit poll results say Clinton attacked Obama unfairly; fewer, but still about half, also say Obama unfairly attacked Clinton.
- The New York Times says turnout could be at least double the 26 percent recorded in the 2004 primary.

I think that Hillary will win, but only by 9-12%. Since the delegates are portioned by district, and Obama will most likely win the more populated areas, I don't see her winning enough delegates to overcome the 140 more that he has over her by a long shot. She might net an additional 25-40, but he will still have a 100+ lead over her.
She will try to spin it that her win means something big, but unless she pulls off the 20% win margin she needs, it won't change the overall race at all.
I think the real story will be how well Obama has overcome the 20 point lead she had over him last month.
