5-10 is 6 percentage points, and 0-4 is only 5.  Cheater.

QuoteOverall, Obama's delegate lead is 1,645-1,505. That masks an even larger advantage among those won in primaries and caucuses. There, his advantage is 1,414-1,250.

An additional 566 are at stake in the remaining contests in eight states, Guam and Puerto Rico before the primary season ends on June 3.

If Obama captures 53 percent of them, which is the share he has gained in contests to date, he would close out the primary season with at least 1,945 delegates, only 80 less than the total needed to clinch the nomination. If he and Clinton split the 566 evenly, he would still be within 100 of the number needed.

Clinton needs to win a forbidding 65 percent of the delegates in the remaining primaries to draw even with Obama in pledged delegates. It's a share she has achieved only once so far, in Arkansas, where her husband was governor for more than a decade.

Hillary has to win by a lot more than 10% in PA to have any chance.

If she loses PA outright, though, I would bet she concedes before Indiana and North Carolina.

hillary is crazy and will never give up. she will stab barry in the neck with a ballpoint pen during a debate before admitting defeat to him.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

At the beginning of the year, Obama was down by 20 in PA.  I've said that anything less than a loss by 10% would be a win for Obama.  Recent polls had him down 10+.  Then, three polls are now showing him statistically tied.  At this point I think it is safe to say he'll break 10%

So, since you think Hillary will win by 12, I'll bet you $20 the margin is less than 10.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

I don't think it matters who wins for the Democrats. They will just lose to McCain. I'll bet you on that before we even know whose running against him.

Bill Maher was great last night.  He had Cornell West on and I think he's a fascinating guy.  I would love to audit one of his classes at Princeton.

The polls back this up.  McCain is dead even with either Obama or Clinton at this point.
