Not that it matters, but Clinton won by 9% in PA, not 10%. - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

You can just see the media doing whatever it can to extend the "drama" of the race.

9%, 10%, does it matter? He is still a loser and can't seem to close this thing out despite all his money and seeming advantages. He is off his game and doesn't appear to be much of a finisher. It appears he's also gone into seclusion.

So we are quibbling about rounding methodology now?

He didn't have any seeming advantages in Pennsylvania. That state is perfectly set up for Clinton to win, just as NC is set up for him to win. All of his money is a good thing- it clearly indicates that people like him, so much so they are willing to give him cash and lots of it.

I think you will find yourself very surprised at the margin of victory he has over McCain in November.

If the media is arbitrarily going to state that 10% is what Clinton needed to remain viable, then they should accurately report that she won by 9.2%, not 10%.

And it's such a mystery why folks think you're a nit-picker ...

Figures you'd be the one getting bent out of shape over a difference of either 0.003 or 0.008.

Yes indeed, I will be surprised by that, as will many of my Dem friends.

In other words, "we don't need no stinkin white middle class voters!"

I noticed that. Clever, huh? If we deliberately round wrong we can say it's a double-digit victory.

I don't know what's the matter with the rest of you. I for one like nit-picking.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
