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

[Mr. Morden]

Discussion of Feb. 9th Democratic primary & caucus results here.

WA, NE, and LA results shouldn't come out until later today.  But there's also a Democratic convention in the Virgin Islands to select delegates there.  Does anyone have any idea when in the day that's supposed to happen?

[Mr. Morden]

Louisiana: I believe the polls close at 8pm local time, which would be 9pm Eastern time.

Nebraska: Every county is different in terms of when they caucus.  Some have already started caucusing, but some don't start until 7pm Eastern.  I don't know if results will start trickling out throughout the day, or if we'll have to wait until tonight.

Washington: Caucuses begin at 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern.  Don't know when they'll release results, but most caucus states have started releasing a few results about 1h30m - 2 hours after the caucus starts.

Virgin Islands: No idea.

Obama 59%
Clinton 26%

[Mr. Morden]

Haven't read through the whole thread, so maybe this has already been mentioned, but Chuck Todd on MSNBC just said it was looking like Obama would win the Virgin Islands.
