Scorched Earth: The Pennsylvania Primary Results

The bitter, gun toting, God fearing Pennsylvanians have voted and Hillary Clinton has won. The Planet Earth — on Earth Day! — has survived.

If we can trust exit polls, the Pennsylvanians did not appreciate the negative campaigning….

The tough tone of the Pennsylvania Democratic campaign tarnished both candidates — more so Hillary Clinton, with 67 percent of voters saying she attacked Barack Obama unfairly.

Yet it looks to have worked: Late deciders favored Clinton by a wide margin, boosting her to an essential victory in the state.

Clinton beat Obama by 57-42 percent among voters who decided in the last few days, countering his equally large edge among those who picked their candidate between a week and a month ago. It was the sixth primary in a row in which she won late-choosing voters.
