Well hell has frozen over. Barack Obama is finally going to show up on FOX. Fantastic. As she wrote:
After a double-digit loss in Pennsylvania, how will the Senator gain back momentum in the remaining contests? While he is ahead in pledged delegates, Senator Clinton is counting on the support of the superdelegates. With such a long Democratic primary season, how does Senator Obama feel this is affecting his party and does he see the contest continuing all the way to the Democratic convention? We’ll ask this and much more when we sit down with Senator Obama, only on “FOX News Sunday.”
Wait, did you catch that? Read the beginning again:
After a double-digit loss in Pennsylvania…
Okay, now let’s hop over to the New York Times and check on our Pennsylvania Primary Results:
| Candidate | Vote | % | Delegates |
| Hillary Rodham Clinton | 1,260,444 | 54.6% | 74 |
| Barack Obama | 1,046,220 | 45.4% | 67 |
Now, I have not taken a math class in many years, but I’m pretty sure 54.6 – 45.4 = 9.8 9.2 (thanks Simmons, you bastard).
So, either FOX really sucks at math, or they forgot that “double digits” doesn’t count the decimal point.

Hehe…Looks like you suck at math too…
54.6 – 45.4 = 9.2 , not 9.8
To be fair, if you round 54.6 up and 45.4 down, then Clinton had a 10 point lead. But precision counts.

Dammit! Wait, how did I do 9.8… hold on. Oh wait, I know what I did. I did 44.6 to 55.4. Dyslexia attacked, my mistake.
