With the Pennsylvania polls set to close in a few hours, Sen. Barack Obama said this afternoon that a win in the state should not be that hard to define.

"Let me cut to the chase,'' Obama said during an interview with a satellite radio station conducted while he was at restaurant. "A win is 50 plus one, so if Sen. Clinton gets over 50 percent, she's won the state."

But Obama said there are other equations to consider as well, according to a media pool report of the event..

"I don't try to pretend I enjoy getting 45 percent and that's a moral victory;" he said. "What I do believe is we're coming to the end of this process and if you look we've won twice as many states. We've won the popular vote by a fairly substantial margin. We've got a very big lead in pledged delegates and we've competed in every state, win or lose."

Obama said there are reasons why he has not won some big states.

"Part of the reason, for example, we might not win one of the big states is we've decided we could get more delegates by campaigning in five small states," he said. "That was a decision based on the notion that this was a delegate race.''

After Obama finished his cheese-steak, he asked his wife, Michelle for a little help before posing for photos.

"Do I have Cheese Whiz in my teeth?'' he asked.

She told him he did not.

Look at all the margins and see who is losing. At which point do we admit that a loss is a loss?
