Nice.

Unfortunately, no exit polls for Republicans in Vermont.

Looking at the exit poll demographics, Vermont is such an awesome state. Grin

Interesting regional breakdown in Ohio. Obama leads everywhere except the Northeast, where Clinton cleans up.
Er... isn't the Northeast Cleveland?

EDIT: Nevermind, Cuyahoga County is a separate region in the exit poll.

Just returned from the caucus: Obama won 2-1 or so and I waited in line for 2 hours. Quick updates anyone?

Obama must be looking good in Texas considering Harris and Travis aren't in, right? He also seems to be keeping it close in Bexar.

Austin, so the 2-1 victory wasn't very surprising, but fun nonetheless.

The question is, does Hillary get a net gain of delegates.
Almost assuredly no.

Well, I think it's going to be a long night. Both races will be close.

Um... shouldn't Clinton be doing much better in Bexar?

I'm still not seeing why Texas looks bad. Clinton's areas are coming in, Obama's aren't, and it's tied.

I'm very proud of Austin. Grin

Obama's closing the gap in Texas again.

I'm going to miss clap-clap-point-point, but clap-clap-wave-jig is an acceptable substitute.

Well, she's going to keep going apparently. Gonna destroy the party and hand McCain a victory on a silver platter, but that's the Clintons for you.

Momentum would be important if Pennsylvania was next week. It's not; it's in April. By the time Pennsylvania votes, any momentum from today will have been completely forgotten, and Obama will still have a 150+ delegate lead.

Chuck Todd on MSNBC is saying that even if Clinton's 2 point lead in TX holds up, his best guess (because of the particular districts where each candidate won) is that Obama nets about 3-4 delegates just from the *primary* contest in TX


Oh, yes. This is clearly the more democratic system.

Is giving 100% of delegates to someone who wins 32% more democratic and proportional?

Uh, at least the person who won more votes gets more delegates as opposed to someone losing in the vote count yet obtaining more delegates.
The votes of a greater number of people matter under our system, whereas in your system, 68% of voters don't matter at all.

Edwards is doing ridiculously well in the pan-handle and East Texas, no doubt due to the significant racist and sexist vote.

What is "pulling a Henry Cuellar"?

What's with Obama only leading by 2% Cuyahoga?
