With 99% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania, the NY Times is showing a Clinton lead of 9.4%.  With only 7 counties not reporting 100%, and all but one of those already at 98 or 99%, it's looking like Obama will pick up an additional net 2,000 votes when all the ballots are counted.  Adding that to the totals at 99%, Clinton will garner 54.6% to Obama's 45.4%, a 9.2% spread in favor Clinton.

Is it picking nits to look at the slight percentage difference above or below 9.5% that could round up to a 10% spread?  No, there is a clear psychological threshold at the 10% margin.  Clinton cannot claim a double-digit victory.  And Obama can point to the long-stated expectation by his campaign that getting within 10 points of Clinton in PA would be considered a victory, given the demographics of the state.

We can certainly concede that Clinton won Pennsylvania.  But we should not concede that she triumphed, or that she scored a significant victory.  Her net delegate pickup will make no significant difference in the race, leaving Obama in commanding lead in the delegate count.  And her pick-up of 200,000 popular votes will not bring her anywhere near as close as she needs to come to claim a popular vote mandate.

Congratulations Senator Clinton, on your less than convincing victory.
