My Fiance and I had no trouble registering, was very quick.

Your profile says you're male, which means that you must be gay. 

isn't fiance a term that applies to males and females?  I always thought it was.

fiancé = male
fiancée = female.
 It`s French, you know?

I thought we'd gotten rid of all the french already.  that's disappointing.

think i'll go make me some freedom toast later today.

We have. Therefore it's not called "fiancee" anymore, but "freedom woman".

The Maryland model indicates that the exit poll will come out Obama 57%, Clinton 43%.

I predicted that!

I never bought into that one myself, BRTD.  However, it is one of the things that will distinguish Texas, ever so slightly, because the downballot races will be on the ballot in that contest...

Other states hold separate Presidential and down-ballot primaries? That's odd...

The only other state which held a simultaneous Presidential/down-ballot primary so far is Illinois.

Eh, I guess living in Texas has just led me to assume that other states do it that way as well.

What a waste of money though...

The problem is that the Texas, Maryland and Illinois downballot primaries are hilariously, dangerously early for downballot races (look at the DeLay mess. Or the Ryan mess.) Yet states, understandably though not perhaps wisely, want their presidential primary early - and the parties too want them early though not quite as early. Uncoupling them from downballot primaries thus became unavoidable.

And with one precinct out, Obama wins 58-41.
It's over.

Clinton wins Adams, Burnett, Douglas, Forest, Iron (under 50%), Juneau, Marinette, Oconto (under 50%), Polk, Trempealeau (under 50%), cracks 60% nowhere.

Obama cracks 60% in Dane, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, Winnebago, wins Langlade with under 50%.

Someone make a map.

Can you people post sordid financial stuff outside threads that should be devoted to holy elections?

Sentiment echoed.
