If true, Obama didn't get much of the white vote there.

I AM SHOCKED!!!!!11111

Well he got 26% of it in South Carolina. It does not look like he will get that much in Louisiana per the tea leaves, but I am filling in perhaps too many blanks. Those in Louisiana concerned about the economy split evenly between the two candidates is the main tea leaf I am looking at.

Where are you getting these polls?

They are being reported on Fox News.

OMG FOXKKK KKKONSPIRAECEEE!!!!!11111

How long before we get any proper numbers? I don't trust anecdotal reports, even if they're plausible (as these are).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Unintentionally hilarious (it's the second line in the red box wot does it).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Was there any exit/entrance [whatever you want to call them] polls from Nebraska or Washington? Or both?

I think they stopped bothering with entrance polls after they were so far off in Nevada. Of course, this isn't all that surprising; it's much easier to poll when you know what the demographics should look like, as in Iowa. These other caucus states have never been relevant.

Figures, but some sort of information would be nice to look at anyways.

Probably not very useful though; caucus goings not being a very typical bunch of people.

How long 'till the polls close in Lyonesse?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

It will be interesting to see how close the actual results (esp. concerning whites) are to the exit poll.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Some interesting patterns in the parish results out so far, though Louisiana morphing into Lyonesse makes it hard to tell which are important and which aren't. Oh well.

Louisiana with 7% in, 54% Obama and 35% Clinton

10%, 52%, 38%

10%, 52%, 38%

Clinton Surge!!!!!!!!!!

16, 54, 37

The numbers will bounce around for a while, partially due to the ugly nature of the vote-split.

24, 52, 39

A bit of Baton Rouge just came in

Yes, but only a tiny bit. Fool.

A quick scan (which be bver wrog as I', tired at the oment and need to sleep) shows more votes counted so far in rural parishs with large black populations than in the whiter ones.

FWIW, there will be more Democratic voters in blacker rural parishes, too.

I meant precincts counted (or reporting or whatever).

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

Isn't that the weird machine county?

That statement applies for all of Lyonesse

But I think you're thinking of Plaquemines.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Don't feed the troll people...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

A lot of the urban/suburban parts of Lyonesse aren't in yet. This is irritating. But as the result won't change (excepting gross fraud or something) I might as well look at things in the morning after I've attempted to get some sleep.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Obama 52.6 to Clinton 44.8, so they under-estimated Obama's margin by like 12 points.

What's interesting is that they overestimated Clinton more than they underestimated Obama.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ah, some of the odder voting patterns of last night did fix themselves while I was a-sleeping. Methinks that the map looks pretty ugly.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Awwwwwwwww...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

In an attempt to accomodate the Democrats' concerns, the ballot envelope contains an oath indicating that the voter did not participate in the primary or caucus of any other party (most Washington voters vote by mail).  The ballots of those who took the oath will be counted separately from those who did.

Guess which county Edwards broke 15% in?
