Tide Turns for Clinton
4/22, 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time
Results we have so far indicate that Clinton has won at least 80 of the 158 delegates Tuesday's contest in Pennsylvania, according to The Associated Press. Sen. Obama has won at least 66 delegates. There are 12 more delegates to be awarded. The final tally may come in only after Wednesday. Clinton enjoys a 10% lead over Obama in the popular vote.
Clinton cut into Obama's white-collar, educated voter base and white-men voter base. This has catapulted her to a significant victory. The recent ABC debate also seems to have worked to her advantage. Fox News reports that her resounding victory has resonated well with her old and new supporters alike. She has received $2.5 million in new donations since yesterday! Now she has the money and momentum to march ahead.
Obama's delegate leads is still significant. But to keep the super-delegates interested the pressure is on him to win Indiana and North Caroilina with big margins.
Clinton leads by a Wide Margin
4/22, 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time
As of 11:15 p.m. ET, 88% of the precincts are reporting and Clinton has a 10% lead over Obama. According to Fox News, this maps to a gain of approximately 15 delegates for Clinton. The exact delegate lead will be known only after ballot counting is complete. This is because the Democratic primary process allocates delegates to congressional districts based on the voter turnout in that region in past elections. Philadelphia and its suburbs have more delegates than the rural areas of the state. The candidates will be awarded delegates proportional to the percentage of votes they receive in each region.
