- KS strongly for Huckabee
- WA looking like an Obama landslide
- Limited out of LA, but Obama looks somewhat favored

Ah indeed...nothing out from Nebraska?

Nebraska has seen record turnout to the point that some caucus locations have declared emergencies.

Emergencies?!

btw im dissapointed MSNBC is doing ZERO coverage on all this. I have to go between Fox and CNN.....I feel like vomiting

[exopolitician]

Thank God, MSNBC just turned on.

WOO! Chuck Todd good to hear your voice.

[exopolitician]

Uhg, they are actually in Richmond tonight and I cant see them...how dissapointing.

[exopolitician]

LA polls closing now, yes?

LA?

Louisiana abbreviation = LA

[exopolitician]

Nebraska = WIN...69% to 31% WOOF

[exopolitician]

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.

[exopolitician]

How long 'till the polls close in Lyonesse?

Alittle less than 30 minutes. Im nervous about LA...

[exopolitician]

I'm wondering why, with 37% of the precincts reporting and Obama leading by 35%, that CNN isn't calling Washington for Obama?

Its now 42% in, and its CNN for goodness sakes. They cant swallow admitting defeat.

[exopolitician]

The MSNBC panelists are talking too much to notice anything else going on unfortunately -_-

[exopolitician]

Shes speaking.

[exopolitician]

Shes speaking.

my ears

they hurt

I want someone to walk up to to her and whisper in her ear "psst....you just LOST Nebraska and Washington...." then walk off.....I wanna see how huge the explosion of her head will be.

[exopolitician]

Considering Seattle and Remond aren't even in yet, could Obama break 70%? He'll landslide both, of course, but by more than he's doing in the rural counties?

Indeed. Washington is only going to get worse for Clinton. On the subject of Clinton, I'm watching CNN and she's speaking. Is it just me, or does she just get progressively louder and angrier sounding in every one of her speeches? She reminds me of my mom.

I hate how she speaks, its sounds very cold and rehearsed. Plus shes slightly monotoned....its annoying.

I can just imagine how she would sound during an hour long State of the Union every year.  Ugh.

I like how shes praising Kaine as if enough ass kissing is going to sway his endorsement from Obama to her.

[exopolitician]

Exit polls look good for Obama, though it'll be a close win.

Post some info from the poll?

[exopolitician]

Exit polls in LA say 53-45 Obama. He also did better among women than men

MSNBC says Obama leads exit polls by a "substantial margin".

[exopolitician]

I knew it, the Clinton campaign has already spun that "he was expected to win there by large margins, he spent more money in these places than us...so we dont care."

in other words...you lost big and you couldnt afford to campaign there. Interesting....

[exopolitician]

I dont get some people. There should be no excuse as to why Clinton have not had run succesful campaigns in these states...and all she has on the subject is "well he was expected to win anyways, and he spent too much money in these states too." If she wants to focus on other states, then she shouldnt b!tch about states she lost that she apparently "knew" she was going to lose...then spin it like tonight is her night. I honestly hope people dont buy into that crap...its childish.

plus, it just shows her financing problems are becoming more apparent as the days progress.

[exopolitician]

Washington with 86.7% in, 67.63% Obama and 31.1% Clinton

70% GOGOGO!

[exopolitician]

An Impressive night for Obama. Huzzah!

[exopolitician]

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

[exopolitician]

Kaine is about to introduce Obama

[exopolitician]

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

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.
