Clinton gets the call
The pattern that established itself early in this primary system continued tonight: Fox News was quickest out of the gate to make a projection, followed by MSNBC, with CNN playing it very cautiously.
Fox declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the Pennsylvania primary roughly 45 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. EDT.
MSNBC followed a few minutes later.
CNN, at 8:54, reiterated that it was holding fire.
Assuming Fox and MSNBC are correct, the margin-watch now begins.

Andrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions. That childhood exposure led to a lifelong fascination with politics, including 40-plus years of covering them and a brief stint practicing them as press secretary to Laura Bush in 1999-2000.
