Who Really Won Pennsylvania?

Due to Pennsylvania’s screwed up system of allocating pledged delegates, the answer to that question is still up in the air. The voting is done and the popular vote goes to Senator Clinton. But what about the delegates? Here’s an explanation from the New York Times:

Because of the rules that govern the allocation of Democratic delegates, final results for each congressional district in the state are needed to allocate that district’s delegates. There are seven congressional districts in Pennsylvania with precinct reports outstanding. The Associated Press tells us that those results may not be available for a day or two.
Thus, The Times has only allocated 127 of the state’s 158 delegates. Currently, Hillary Clinton has 64 delegates and Barack Obama has 63. Stay tuned to our delegate page for updates.

Whoa, she’s really creamin’ him!

There is a link in that article to the NYT’s delegate page. It has some pretty interesting information. Not only does it show you the current split of delegates for the states that have already held their primaries or caucuses or primary/caucuses. There is another column of un-allocated delegates. If you click on the ‘Details’ a little window will pop up to let you know when those states will have their conventions. That is when they will decide their delegates. If they haven’t been decided yet, how do we know who won what? Then you have the state of Nevada who had to conduct a do-over in Clark County because to many people showed up. Nevada held their caucus (or primary – I can’t keep up any more) on January 19th – January 19th! And we still don’t know who won what!?!

People we are all in Hell. Why is this so freaking difficult? How about if we voted by placing a penny in piggy-banks with the candidates names on them, dipped our fingers in ink to show that we voted, then dump the pennies into a coin counter and voilia! A winner is chosen.
