Are you kidding? We have to put more reporters on the ground, and expend more resources, and we're not making that money back." Who knows? Maybe they thought this was going to be a cash cow, and it's not. I really don't know, but the media has a benchmark to deal with too now. It's all going to depend on how they report the Pennsylvania results. If they report them realistically or not, in other words, are they going to report that no matter what the delegate haul and MOV is that Hillary's got "momentum", or are they going to take the extra five minutes to explain how her chances have been altered based upon the net delegate gain?

She needs, what, 70% of the remaing delegates that the voters pick. No way that can happen. She will not get even 50%. I wish that the MSM besides Olberman would say it. MSM just wants people to keep tuning in by saying Clinton has a chance. Unless Obama were to die, he will get the nomination. She needs, what, 70% of the remaing delegates that the voters pick.
