Billary is in trouble if the exit polling holds up. Obama is looking like hes going to have a great night tonight.

As expected.

Exit polling shows Hillary is in for a rough night across the nation.

In Georgia its looking like not only did Obama win blacks, and those under 45. He also won white men(narrowly). All said he got 86% of the black vote and 43% of the white vote.

I think he'd have to have a major sweep of Cali, NJ, Missouri, and CT to be seen as the front-runner and as anything other than a draw between the two front runners.

No but if Obama has a huge night(which is looking likely), theres not much chance the Obama train can be stopped. Its on a runaway course.

Just look at the polling trend lines over the last week, hes taken off like a rocket, and Clinton while Clinton was stagnent with a slight downward slope.

Huckabee's up in Georgia by a nice amount... go McCain '08!

edit: I think GA's been officially called for the Huckster? no one's talking about it, but the checkbox next to his name is checked on Fox.

Georgia has not officially been called, but the trend is going to Huck. I imagine they'll call it soon. I'm excited for him!

Been saying it for awhile, brokered convention.

As was expected, Oklahoma and Tennesse go Clinton. Alabama should be called for Obama soon.

Missouri, Conn, NJ, MA all too close to call, but exit polling gives a slight edge to Obama.

CA is NOT winner take all for the GOP.

Winner take all per precinct, not state.

Hmm... interesting how its changing from a two man race, to a three man race, and now im hearing msnbc calling it a mccain/huckabee race.


Can I say... I told you so.

Well, all called states are as expected.

That said Obama has slight leads in exit polling in states that Hillary should be winning.

On the GOP side, Huckabee, could win Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri.

eh.

Huckabee might pick up some southern states, but he doesn't have a chance in a general election.

no, CA is WTA by district (with a bonus for the overall winner), so both McCain and Romney will get delegates in CA

Give him 7 months to talk to the American people and you'll be surprised. He beat the Clinton machine twice in Arkansas.

Huck has been outspent almost 10 to 1 and he has about the same market share, if you're a business man, that tells you something. Hell, if you aren't an idiot that tells you something.

So far the only surprises are Connecticut which may go barely to Obama and New Jersey which is still up in the air.
The most interesting states to come will be in the Southeast. If Clinton does well there, then it is completely obvious she would be the best candidate in the general election.
Hillary has won Tennesse which is a battleground state. Also, if Hillary wins Missouri she will have won another battleground state. Add the southeast to Clinton and she clearly is the best candidate for the electoral college.
Obama can't win enough of the white vote to compete in a general election. He wins primaries with 80 percent of the black vote but they are almost all Democrats. He won't get the white Republicans who are sick of the Republican party.
