Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York had the lead, NBC News reported as polls closed Tuesday night in a contest that analysts said Clinton had to win if she were to remain a credible candidate for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton, independent analysts and the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois had predicted ahead of time that Clinton would win the state, where she enjoyed large leads in opinion polls until recently. But after closing the deficit in the last few weeks, Obama’s advisers said he would have the momentum unless Clinton won by a sizable margin.

Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s chief spokesman, maintained that the size of any Clinton victory was immaterial. Targeting his pitch to the Democratic officeholders and other superdelegates who hold the balance of power at the party convention in Denver in August, he said a win was a win.

I was trying to copy and paste: “Clinton wins Pa primary, NBC projects” but instead posted something I copied and pasted in response to another poster on a thread I was looking at earlier.

Since all I ever do is read the headline, and this thread is ALL ABOUT the headline, I feel like I'm really in my element here.

Thanks.

Charlie: They said you was hung.

Bart: And they was right!

I was on a jury panel yesterday, and the judge was explaining the questionaire, which asked if we'd ever been part of a hung jury.

He misspoke as he explained the term...saying, "A hung juror...(an embarrassed pause) ummm (more pause with background chuckles)...uh, I mean, a hung jury means..."

When I was young I used to do what they now call "multitask". We just called it "doing several things at the same time". As I got older I discovered that my results were more satisfactory if I focused my attention on one thing at a time.

Perhaps you may find this information useful, perhaps not. Either way have a nice day!

Obama: “You’re likeable enough, Hillary”

[one of my favorite lines of the year]

of course, he could have said “You’re almost likeable, Hillary” and had a much bigger impact
