Bill Schneider: Hillary "leading"
CNN analyst Bill Schneider just slipped when talked about Hillary Clinton's 60% support among seniors (which is less than her 72% support in Ohio), and basically admitted -- catching himself too late -- that she's "leading" overall (according to his interpretation of the exit polls) in what the network is officially calling a "competitive" race with Obama:
"She's not doing as well among seniors, but there are a lot more of them in Pennsylvania, and that's why she's still lead-- er, very competitive."
I'll finish the sentence for you, Bill: "That's why she's still leading."
Meanwhile, the earliest of early returns are trickling in, and so far, predictions of Obama jumping out to an early lead are not materializing.
Drudge just linked to an ABC article headlined "Polls Closed; Pressure on Clinton to Win Big," except that Drudge's link reads "Hillary Wins PA!"
Drudge better watch out, or they might take his Pulitzer back.

I'm an idiot. Apparently the important part of Drudge's link was not the story itself, but the breaking news headline above that ABC NEWS PROJECTS HILLARY CLINTON WILL WIN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN PENNSYLVANIA, BASED ON ANALYSIS OF VOTE IN SO FAR
He can keep his Pulitzer, I guess.
