What will the margin of victory be for the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary (April 22)?
Ok after looking at CNN, MSNBC and FOX I'm going to settle the market based on the current numbers, which won't go above the 10% mark. Here are the links I'm using to settle the market:

All of these sites mark the margin between 5-!0%.

Hillary wins by 5-10% is the correct prediction.
so, what precincts have not reported? are they 'big' precincts? if so, those precincts could shift the pct either direction. if down, no issue. but if they swing up, 10+ could still win.
you must wait for the 'final' count. the 99.9% rule does not apply here. imho.
99.09% of districts reporting.
Obama 45.7%
Clinton 54.3%
