The Wait is On

PHILADELPHIA (Posted April 22, 2008) – The polls have closed and the results are starting to come in across the Keystone State.  Early exit polls indicate one voting block was clearly for freshman Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). 

I’m here at the Clinton headquarters in the Park Hyatt Hotel in downtown Philadelphia where she is expected to greet supporters later tonight in the ballroom.

According to CNN’s exit polls, 92 percent of African-American in the state voted for Obama, leaving only eight percent for his rival Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).  But it might not be enough to close the predicted shortfall for Obama with White voters.

Networks are shying away from making predictions early in this competitive race and opting for ”too close call”  in the early hours.  Another problem with projections will be two of the largest populated parts of the states, Pittsburg and Philadelphia have late voters and are historically slow reporting their results.

I’ll keep you updated as the night goes on. 

9:00 p.m.

The polls have been closed for an hour and with a little more than five percent of the precients reporting; Clinton leads with 57 percent to Obama’s 47 percent.   

During an importuned new conference Terry McAuliffe, Clinton told reporters, after tonight’s win, Clinton will  secure more super-delegates and remain in the race.

“When do I think it will end -  in June,”  he predicted.  “It’s been a tough primary, but we’ve got time [the Democratic Part] to bring folks together,” he said.
