Shortly before 9 p.m., The Associated Press projected Barack Obama as the winner in Pennsylvania based on exit polls and less than 8 percent of the state's precincts reporting.
The AP says Obama is winning Pennsylvania by a 65% to 34% margin over John McCain. Does that make any sense to anyone? The most generous polls had Obama ahead by 10% in Pennsylvania, which John Kerry won by just 2% over George W. Bush in 2004.
Something doesn't add up. How could Obama win the state by a nearly 2-1 margin? Unless the AP sampling comes from Philadelphia alone.
Here's something else that's strange. In Michigan, the most recent numbers have McCain ahead of Obama by a 51% to 48% margin, but the AP is calling Obama the winner there.
