Looks like Hillary is gonna win Pennsylvania by about 9 points. Even so, all the MSM is still showing it 55% to 45%... So what's the deal?
EDIT:
I realized my wording was kinda confusing, so I added the phrase "margin of victory", and changed a couple things in the stuff below.
The problem appears to be that nobody in the media can locate that rarest of creatures... the decimal point.
In a two-person race, assuming all or nearly all votes go for one candidate or the other (rather than to "none of the above"), the results can theoretically be anywhere from 100.0-0.0, 99.9-0.1, 99.8-0.2, all the way to 50.0-50.0. And so it looks like the margin of victory could be anywhere from 100 points to 0.1 point. But if you can't find a decimal point lying around anywhere, that's not quite true. In fact, without using tenths of a point, you'll always wind up with an even, whole number margin of victory.
Like the results coming from Pennsylvania. Everyone is still showing 55-45 for Clinton. That despite the fact that, if you just bother to do some simple division, it's more like 54.6-45.4. Just over a 9-point lead. (This might change, but the premise of what I'm talking about will not.) But without using decimal points, you'll never see that. Without it, you'll have to wait... until it goes from 55-45 to 54-46, or an 8-point lead. Skipped right over 9!
And in case this sounds like I'm whining about a tenth of a point here and a tenth of a point there, consider this:
Because of their apparent inability to find a few lowly decimal points, the media will not report this as a 9-point win for Hillary. Rather, she'll be awarded the holy grail of political campaigns: A double-digit victory.
