NPR Calls Pennsylvania for Clinton

NPR's election desk is predicting that Sen. Hillary Clinton will win tonight's Pennsylvania primary.

Now it's all about the final margin of victory. Currently Clinton is leading Obama 53% to 47%.

Here is one for the pundits that I haven't heard an answer to yet. IF the Democrats handled their primaries like the Republicans, and generally the National Election in November, winner take all in each state, what would the current delegate count be for Clinton and Obama?

Remember, no proportional electoral college in November. Or did I miss something in 2000 in Florida?

I was surprised to hear one of the NPR primary coverage commentators (Marla Liason?) claim that Hillary's Pennsylvania win was due to "Rev Wright & Bittergate". Given that all evidence suggests the very contrary, it was disappointing that one's personal preferences were allowed to bias one's commentary to the point where personal opinions are presented as facts.
