Not that it matters, but Clinton won by 9% in PA, not 10%.

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

But they didn't round wrongly. It was either 55-45 (10%) or 54-46 (8%). In that context, 9.2% rounds up to 10%.

Don't forget, Barak Hussein also won Texas.

Obama has finally arrived; the media is conspiring against him.

No wonder you didn't understand my analogy in the other thread.

Would it help if I would just post a blank response so you could fill in whatever you want? At least then you wouldn't have to feel like you were lying.

Yes, they did. How many points did she win by? 9.2. What does that round to? Hint: not 10.

I could probably get her to a 30 point win by rounding up in each district that reported too.

0.8, not 0.008. Remind me to put less credence in your statistics from here on out, now that I realize a difference of 0.8 to you is totally insignificant.

I gave you the decimal value, not the percentage value. Figures you were too dense to understand the difference.

That has a tendency to happen with religious fanatics.

And the rest of us were talking about percentage value. Figures you were too dense to stay on point. Or were you just trying to manipulate the number to make it look smaller in comparison? Dishonest or dense. Once again sums it up.

It does kinda sum up your interaction with anyone you disagree with.

How about putting the amount you're quibbling about into a better context? myboynoah got it exactly right, the media called it a 10 point victory because the results (as rounded to the nearest percent) was 55 to 45. Is there some sort of media obligation to use 3 decimal places instead of 2? Look at how CNN.com displays the results out only 2 places.

Besides, dipshit, it was 54.6436% to 45.3564% which is a difference of 9.2872% which rounds to 9.3% going out to 3 decimal places, not 9.2%.

So it would break out this way if the networks went to one decimal point:

Clinton - 54.6%
Obama - 45.4%

Yet they didn't so they all conspired to round those figures up and down, suggesting a 10% difference.

Is this why Obama went into seclusion yesterday, quibbling over 0.8%?

The great hope has been knocked off his game, showing the mortal that he really is, sold out as a mere "politician" by his own spiritual mentor. I wonder if Mrs. Obama is all that proud of her country today (there really should be a meter gauging her pride levels).
