So the tornado sirens are going off here...so I will be away from my laptop for a bit.

Be safe.

The weather sucks here....but no tornados. We are under a watch tho...

besides that

any news on exit polls?

You are a dedicated man. You should be proud.

Ive been through 6 hurricanes and 2 major tornados....nothing special

Hidalgo came in. Smaller shift than I expected.

Remaining large counties are El Paso (strong Clinton), Cameron (strong Clinton), Denton (strong Obama) and Galveston (unknown). Of course, these are only early votes.

[Joe Biden 2020]

The Dallas CBS affiliate just called Texas for McCain giving him the nomination.

[Alcon]

Texas exit poll:

Clinton 50.0%
Obama 48.6%

Hopefully the Dems will be wrapped up too after this. Although the GOP has really been done for a while

Texas exit poll:

Clinton 50.0%
Obama 48.6%

that does not count early voters, correct?

[Verily]

Exit poll suggests tiny Clinton lead in TX. No idea how it factors in early votes.

I'm a veteran of 6 hurricanes and 1 Carolina Hurricane winning the Stanley Cup.

Clinton 50.0%

Are early voters factored into that? Regardless, looks like a nailbiter...just the way I like it.

[Alcon]

Rhode Island exit poll:

Clinton 51.6%
Obama 47.5%

And, no, it doesn't include early voters.

[Verily]

Also, RI is much, much closer than I expected in the exit poll.

[Tender Branson]

RI Exit Poll:

Clinton - 51.5%
Obama - 47.5%

Closer than I expected ...

So do they just throw in all the early votes to one precinct or something? Because at the current rate there'd be somewhere in the range of 70-80 million voters in the Texas Democratic primary, which I find fairly unlikely

Early votes are attributed to their precinct.  I think there are provisions to begin counting during election day, and different counties may do it differently.  It looks like Dallas County dumped all their early votes at once, while I think Harris County does them as part of each precinct.

I actually had Rhode Island going for Obama for a while in my prediction map... no real logic behind it. I switched to Clinton at the end though.

[Sam Spade]

I caution about exit polls from the RI area of the world.  We'll see...

[Eraserhead]

Looks like we are going to get some popular vote heartbreakers tonight.... but she isn't going to make any real headway in the delegate race. So I guess the inevitable will be dragged out for a while.

Rhode Island - 52-47 Clinton with 1% in

What happened to your Texas call?

[Verily]

Texas exit poll suggests Limbaugh did indeed have a big effect on the race; Republicans only 53-46 for Obama.

I'm recalling it. I hope I can re-recall it though.

Yikes

Watch the GOP suburb counties to see if Obama's margins start declining as the night goes on.

[Speed of Sound]

Goddamn it. Goddamn this whole night. Hmmm.....

We interrupt your Presidential coverage to bring you a special Congressional races update:

In TX-22 Sekula-Gibbs leads the field with 27% followed by Olson at 24% and Talton at 17%... In TX-14 Ron Paul has a solid lead with 68%... Ralph Hall is also winning easily in TX-04 with 65%... all numbers very early

In Ohio, no results from OH-10 yet... Steve Austria is easily winning the Republican primary in the open OH-07 seat with 71%... all numbers very early

Next update when I feel like it
