After the Pennsylvania primary, Hillary Clinton said “I won that double-digit victory that everybody on TV said I had to win.” And went on to say why that was a rationale for continuing her campaign.
Except that this morning the Pennsylvania Secretary of State said the margin was 9.2 %. With potentially a block of votes from urban Philadelphia -an Obama stronghold – yet to be counted. .. Which could mean more the final total is more like 8.5 percent.
(Yeah, I know, a win’s a win, unless you’re Al Gore. But if you are going to base a speech on a line of rhetoric, good idea to get your numbers right.)
