Official Pennsylvania Democratic Primary Discussion Thread

[Alcon]

Exact exit poll:

Clinton 51.6%
Obama 47.8%

[Verily]

I can't believe that 37% of Pennsylvanians identify as neither Catholic nor Protestant (but apparently that's a strong Obama group).

[ChrisFromNJ]

Adjusted exit polls show no change - 52- 48 Hillary

[Gustaf]

tv link please?

If you're referring to the churchgoers, it's from CNN.

No, I want a live stream of some kind. I haven't managed to locate one yet so I thought someone might be able to help me out. I had one from CNN last time around.

[Sam Spade]

73% of voters over 45...

Not suprising that that group would be for Obama though.

Jewish is about 5% in D primary.  Also there is a fairly large Orthodox population.

[Eraserhead]

Let's cross our fingers.

[Aizen]

I wish I stuck with my original 9 point prediction.

My 11 point prediction might be too conservative. 

I had to robocalls; one from actor Samuel L. Jackson and one from Obama.

Are you voting for Barack Obama?
 What?
 What country you from?!
Wh-what?
 What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
What?
 English, mother-fu**er! Do you speak it?!
 Yes.
 Then you know what I'm saying?!
 Yes.
 Are you voting for Barack Obama?
 What?
Say "what" again! Say "what" again! I dare you, I double dare you, mother-fu**er! Say "what" one more Goddamn time!
 He's black.
 Go on!
 He's liberal
Does he look like a bitch?!
 What? Oww!
 Does he look like a bitch?!
 No!
 Then why you trying to fu** him like a bitch, J.J?


Sorry, had to do that

It's getting rather common these days to identify as non-denominational Christian even if you don't attend a non-denominational church (actually that's not surprising since it is the most logical classification if you consider yourself a Christian but don't attend any church.)

52-48 will probably mean that Obama wraps this up before the voting's over.

[Alcon]

Jewish is about 5% in D primary.

And CNN's new dumb exit poll model seems to cause a lot of Evangelicals (or something) to identify as non-Protestants.  I miss 2004.  Except I like my Morm'ns separate from my Prots.

[War on Want]

I think Obama might be screwed tonight considering the low young turnout and the low Black turnout.

Any real results or is it stupid "OH ITS TOO CLOSE TO CALL HAHA!!! STAY WITH US AFTER THIS BREAK"

[Meeker]

Younger turnout should be higher... still, this is good news

I suppose it's the fact that it's strong for Obama that gets me. Elsewhere, Obama runs strongly among Protestants largely because most blacks identify as Protestants. But I can only explain those numbers by saying that, in PA but not elsewhere, blacks identify as "generic Christians".

If correct, I'd agree.

Actual results will take maybe another fifteen minutes to start coming in at least.

Obama also does well with Protestants because the Upper classes are Protestant more heavily than Catholics. Which makes sense.

Please someone, post the CNN link.

[Speed of Sound]

Any Republican news? I wanna see how big the Paul blip is.

During that time, I'll relax and take a shower. I don't need to hear journalists say it's too close to call.

[Aizen]

Looks like it will be somewhat close (Which is of course absolutely pathetic for Hillary considering this is the perfect state for her) so this could be an interesting evening.

[Meeker]

I have real difficult seeing Clinton dropping out tonight even if she barely wins. The only way it ends tonight is with an Obama win
