CNN projects Vermont for Obama and McCain

[Alcon]

Vermont exit poll:

Obama 61.8%
Clinton 36.6%

More likely to win in November: 71% Obama, 26% Clinton
Most qualified commander in chief: 50% Obama, 43% Clinton
66% says Clinton has clear plan, 59% Obama

Clinton does better in debate watchers

[Alcon]

Interestingly, Obama did better among those making under $50,000 in Vermont than over.

60-38 among white Vermont Democrats, AKA Vermont Democrats.

Otherwise deeply boring.

Al Giordano does some math:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I just did that same math, and came up with the same thing.  We'll see if the exit polls hold up (early exit polls overestimated Obama in VT, after all...)

[Alcon]

Voting in Sandusky County, OH, extended until 9 PM

[Alcon]

CNN still has their countdown thing up, so it didn't seem like it.

They're definitely not delaying exit polls until Steubensville is done

[Alcon]

I don't think they're legally obligated to hold them until the state closure time, which is still in eight minutes.  Maryland was a different situation, since it was the entire state.

Is that the place where they're allowing provisional ballots for ten days, or something?

Yes (not provisional ballots, though, those are something different...just ballots in general)

[Alcon]

Carl Bernstein should retire

Ohio exit poll:

Clinton 51.1%
Obama 47.9%

[Alcon]

GOP exit poll (for those who care):

McCain 58.4%
Huckabee 32.8%
Paul 6.2%

Sounds like Obama may narrowly carry Texas (according to MSNBC's exits anyway)

sourceage?

I just heard it from Brokaw on TV. They tied among economic voters, Obama leads among Iraq voters and Clinton leads among healthcare voters.

Sounds more like a narrow Clinton win to me, but it depends on how heavy the latter two categories went.

[Alcon]

Err, Ohio is starting to report.  60-38 Clinton with a few precincts from Hancock and Pickaway counties.

[Alcon]

sourceage?

I just heard it from Brokaw on TV. They tied among economic voters, Obama leads among Iraq voters and Clinton leads among healthcare voters.

Twenty six percent of voters voted on Iraq, 22% on health care.

In Texas?

It may come down to early votes, then.

[Alcon]

I guess it depends on the early votes, then, and how well Clinton has the healthcare issue going for her.

I'd say that Obama is favored in Texas, though, but not by much.

[Alcon]

Early numbers look good for Obama.

On the other hand, these are probably early voters.  Caveat emptor.  Clinton should improve.

[Alcon]

Affluent precinct in Red River County?

Hehehe.  No.

[Alcon]

The urban areas are looking pretty ugly for Clinton.

[Alcon]

The urban areas are looking pretty ugly for Clinton.

as expected.

Uglier than I expected.  Clinton better hope for a strong showing among poll voters.

[Alcon]

By the way, in case it isn't clear, the Texas SoS sucks with results and there is way more than 1% in. 

[Alcon]

haha, Loving County.

[Alcon]

Cuyahoga County, OH, polling stations open until 9 PM

[Alcon]

Texas exit poll:

Clinton 50.0%
Obama 48.6%

[Alcon]

Rhode Island exit poll:

Clinton 51.6%
Obama 47.5%

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