Feb. 9th primaries & caucuses--Dem. results thread

[John Dibble]

LA w/ 34% in, 53% Obama and 38% Clinton

36% now, same percentages

[Alcon]

Some of the parish results really do look odd. Assumption parish for one.

Isn't that the weird machine county?

[Torie]

Since 37 delegates in Louisiana are allocated by CD's, and 19 proportionally based on the statewide vote, Clinton will carry a majority of the CD's (probably all but 2 or 3 of them) but with the CD delegates allocated based on the last governor election, it looks like the delegates will be about evenly split.

[Daniel Adams]

The Guardian is saying Obama won the Virgin Islands with almost 90% of the vote. Pretty impressive.

[exopolitician]

Obama won 26% of the white vote in Louisiana, bigger than South Carolina [but not by much really].

That statement applies for all of Lyonesse

But I think you're thinking of Plaquemines.

How are they measuring the last gubernatorial election? By a sum of the vote of all of the Democratic candidates?

What might have happened in Garfield county is this:

Some precincts only have 1 delegate. Today one precinct had one voter, and one delegate, but the voter didn't want to bother with the process, so that delegate basically disappeared (these are precinct level delegates, not national ones). If there weren't any voters, or the voters were too lazy to select delegates, it is possible that heavily Republican, and sparsely populated Garfield just had 1 delegate.

Kaine is about to introduce Obama

[John Dibble]

Washington 94.4% in, 67.41% Obama and 31.3% Clinton

Louisiana 38% in, 53% Obama to 39% Clinton

[Lief 🗽]

Kaine is about to introduce Obama

Ah, that's who that is. The camera was super-zoomed out for a moment.

[John Dibble]

Louisiana 38% in, 53% Obama to 39% Clinton

40%, 53% to 38%

[Verily]

Clinton had better hope she wins Maine tomorrow. Seven straight losses may be too much to bear.

Either the blacks showed up, or the Cajuns there like Obama more than I thought. 

[John Dibble]

40%, 53% to 38%

44%, 54% to 38%

Obama winning New Orleans huge, about 3 to 1.

[bgwah]

Garfield had 10 delegates in 2004. I think there may have been a typo--perhaps someone meant to type in 10, but forgot the 0?

Anyway, great night for Obama! And Douglas County needs to be kicked out of Washington.

In addition to Garfield, Clinton was thoroughly raped in Columbia, Whitman, Okanogan, and San Juan counties (all under 20% Clinton).

Whats her chances there? Are there any polls out from Maine? Accordng to MSNBC, Obama drew a crowd of 7,000 in Bangor when he visited Maine and only Bill Clinton has visited the state for Clinton.

I have to agree - Clinton has to get a Feb win - she can't wait and hope that momentum somehow decreases for Obama - Ohio is still in her camp, but it's not solid. Texas is a different matter, but if the only win she gets in the next month is Texas... she's in serious trouble.

The Delegate Count is shrinking AND Obama has crossed 1,000.

CNN's count:  Clinton 1083 -- Obama 1009

She puts that on her campaign signs. It is annoying. Just like she is.

Obama winning New Orleans huge, about 3 to 1.

Only 9% in though. Is there any way of telling which parts of any parish have been counted?

CNN's count is also the most Clinton friendly, if I remember correctly.

And you'd think that I want to read campaign signs when I come here why--?

Coincidentally, YOU are just like her. Annoying. Stop it or I'll shove this towel down your throat
