^^basically, she was stating "Well, if you recall... Obama claimed that he would win Indiana by atleast 7 points which is obviously not gonna happen, and plus earlier in the night Obama was winning NC by 20 points and we are now only down by 14! NC is a state the everyone predicted Obama would win big and by us narrowing the gap late in the race and by winning the close race in Indiana we're really optimistic about this race and Senator Clinton is in a very good position right now!"
...followed by a smile so fake and irritating I actually wanted to slam my head into the tv
Wow even so a win this narrow is not a victory by any stretch of the imagination.
You neglect to consider the art of the spin.
If you're expected to lose by 5% as Obama is, and bring it within 1%, you can claim a win. If you're expected to win by 5% as Hillary is, and your margin is >1%, it doesn't look too good...
Uh oh... with 98% reporting, Lake County is 55-45 in favor of Obama.
Hillary's lead has gained to 22k votes, with that last unreported county likely to go her way. As much as I hate to say it, I think it's safe to call this one for Hillary.

CNN just declared clinton the victor by 22,000 votes. Still not quite a "victory" so to speak for clinton I don't think... but still unfortunate that she can't eat her words in the morning
Yeah, I hit refresh and the checkmark was next to her name.
I looked up Union County on Google maps and it doesn't look close enough to anywhere in Ohio that would be favorable to Obama, so I'm going to guess that goes for Hillary too.
Dammit, dammit, dammit.
I was hoping to rub this in my Hillary-loving sister's face. I'll have to settle for a draw... for now.
Technically, I figure there's 25,079 votes still to be counted in Lake County... I won't hold my breath, but hopefully we'll get lucky and they'll be from an Obama stronghold?
Anyone know why NC is at 56%-42%. That is a total of 98%. Who did the other 2% vote for? Is there a "None of the above" on the ballot or did Edwards get 2% or something?
This was my quote of the day today on my google homepage. I thought it appropriate for this thread.
There is no greater impotence in all the world like knowing you are right and that the wave of the world is wrong, yet the wave crashes upon you. - Norman Mailer
