Word is that turnout is very heavy in NOVA and in Richmond which is obviously bad news for Hillary.

You have no idea.  Since 7:30 this morning, my polling place has been packed.  This is bad news for Clinton, and great news for Obama.

CNN is reporting that the lines are 45 minutes long!

So my prediction of a Hillary upset is definitley going to be wrong since she's already in Texas. I just wonder how bad the margin will be.

I don't think Obama's in the area either this evening (Wisconsin).  Will be happy to be corrected, if wrong.

Well, it's still worse for Hillary because she would need to be there for a surprise win.

She seems to be skipping right over Wisconsin.

She is?  That'd surprise me if so; it seems like it'd be a critical state to win to slow down Obama's February steamroller.

It's a stupid move. Sure, the college vote and very progressive grassroots base is behind Obama but there is still the strong union vote.

What the hell is with Chris Matthews wanting Tim Kaine to do Virginia accents for him? Is CNN covering this now? I need to turn off MSNBC...

Wow.

Virginia's Catholics are largely concentrated in DCsprawlburbia.

Eh, yeah, so maybe it's not too surprising.

I liked that.  Of course, as Wolf always does, he talks too long and the song was almost done before he was done talking.

Exactly.

3% reporting

Obama - 57%

Hillary - 42%

Hillary looks like she's at a victory rally...

Also, Clinton's Deputy Campaign Manager has resigned.

That doesn't exaplain every other state (Except Utah and Alabama, you guys beat us there)

Fair enough but after Super Tuesday, you guys ought to be beating us.

Again, the fact that Virginia wasn't called for 2 hours seems to refute that.

Just because it was fairly close doesn't mean turnout was high.

i think clinton can do reasonably well the woment (especially) in nova.

i dont know why you all automatically think that obama has nova wrapped up.

ive yet to hear anyone articulate a sound theory on why she will get blown out of the water in fairfax county.  i think she could possibly keep in reasonably close.  maybe not.  but im not automatically ceding it to obama by 30 points.

ha.

Not a surprise that Walter loves to ignore previous voting patterns if he can't figure out why everyone expected Obama to own in NOVA.

You know, in spirit of Valentine's Day, you might as well just confuse your man crush on Walter.
