How is Hillary's big "win" a win?
She went into Tuesday down by 139 delegates. Pennsylvania ended up getting her 82 delegates to Obama's 73, so she gained 9 delegates on Obama. Then, starting just before the polls closed on Tuesday, some of the superdelegates weighed in. By midnight Wednesday night Obama had picked up 8 more superdelegates than Hillary did, so her big "momemtum shifting" win actual got her 1 delegate closer to Obama than she was. She needed to win 58.57% of the remaining delegates to keep pace with Obama on a percentage basis. By only winning by 55-45%, she actually lost ground. Now she needs to win 59.40% of what's left.
When is a "win" not really a win? When it's a win for Hillary Clinton.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement.
We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people."
