April 23, 2008 Percentage points vs. delegates Play video

(NECN) - Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary by nine percentage points, but she and Barack Obama pretty much split the delegates.

Hillary Rodham Clinton won the most delegates in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary, getting at least 81 of the 158 delegates up for grabs. According to an AP analysis of election returns, Barack Obama won at least 70, with seven still to be awarded. In the overall race for the nomination, Obama leads Clinton by 128 delegates.

In a round of morning television interviews, Clinton argued that her feisty act of political survival, defeating Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, confirms her contention that she would be the stronger challenger against Republican John McCain because she has shown she can win in big, swing states.

"At the end of the day, people have to decide who they think would be not only the best president, which is the most important question, but who would be the better candidate against Senator McCain. And I think the coalition that I've put together, as demonstrated once again last night, is a very strong base for us to beat Senator McCain," Clinton told NBC's "Today."
