CNN joins the pack

CNN waited several minutes longer than its rivals, but after taking a commercial break at 9 p.m. (EDT), CNN called Pennsylvania for Hillary Clinton.

The network had presaged that result right before the break, with John King explaining that Barack Obama was not racking up the margin in Philadelphia and its surrounding communities that he would need to offset Clinton's big totals in other parts of the state.

With the raw vote starting to come in at a steady pace, each camp will continue to eye the bottom line. With 7% of the vote counted, Clinton was up by 8 percentage points -- a middle-range showing.

Thank you, Pennsylvania, for voting with your conscience, instead of relying on the Obamabot Kool-Aid! Thank goodness people have FINALLY started to see what a despicable human being Obama is, to say nothing of how WHOLLY unqualified he is to be president. Better late than never, I suppose, but it's a shame it had to go this far--Clinton should have won this nomination a long time ago.

Personally, I really don't care who is ultimately the Democratic Nominee because whoever it turns out to be will get my vote. Hopefully, everyone who is concerned about our once great country and the destruction wrought upon it by the GOP Administration of the last seven years will unite behind whoever is the Democratic Nominee and give him/her a landslide victory into the White House. Further, I hope that every thinking person votes Democratic for every open office in their particular location, especially if the race is for the Senate or the House of Representatives. We need to provide a Democratic President with super majorities in both Houses of Congress so that the GOP will be relegated to a meaningless entity unable to stop the reforms so desperately needed to save our country. I ask, no I beg, that everyone who loves our country and what it should truly stand for will remember what has happened over the last seven years and vow that it will never happen again. It's the least we can do for the Founding Fathers, who pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor in creating the best form of government in the history of the world. To do anything less would be treason in my view.
