[Qutzupalotl]

25. Why do you say that?

[liberalnurse]

34. I think Hillary will win tonight.

O8)

[anigbrowl]

56. Do you have any basis for this opinion, or is it just a hunch?

Somehow I'm guessing the latter.

[anigbrowl]

Unsurprisingly.

Live results here...

http://www.djournal.com/pages/election2008.asp

[stellanoir]

16. That live results link has like. . . no results

Or is it just too darned early ?

[stillcool]

57. Nothing there yet...

but it says live results(?) Maybe I assumed too much?

[stillcool]

58. here's another link...

http://news.aol.com/elections/primary/state/ms/democrats
no results there yet either.

[Qutzupalotl]

21. Look at all those dropped-out candidates still on the ballot.

:-(

[grantcart]

9. I am just here to see if a certain pundit will announce it a great Clinton

win because she gets a single vote

[goclark]

13. I thought I saw some numbers in the vrawl at the bottom

They were about 100 votes apart about an hour ago.
Early voting numbers?

[grantcart]

14. what station?

[goclark]

76. Hi grandcart ~ We won!

:bounce:

[NDambi]

15. How was the turnout any report of that yet? n//t

[KAZ]

20. Someone posted earlier that is was high, but not historic.

Though, who knows what to believe on the board these days.

[Coexist]

18. I don't know if this will be such a big win for Obama

turnout was low, as far as I have heard on the news.

[cali]

22. Yep

I'm just hoping he wins it.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

23. daylight savings, or normal time? I'd hate to miss it.

Again, I am reminded of the farmer from indiana, being interviewed on radio, (I was driving a long, boring drive, and no other stations were working)

He bitched about how the extra hour of "sunlight" that DSL would "create" would burn up his crops because he could not bring it in in time.

[sniffa]

24. There's still time to edit you headline

*****OFFICIAL DOESNTCOUNTASSIPPI PRIMARY RESULTS THREAD*****

[mikelewis]

30. Why doesn't Mississippi count?

[VolcanoJen]

26. 8:00 MSNBC Too early to call, but Obama leads.

I think they're just stringing Mississippi along... make 'em wait until they become another state that doesn't count! :-)

[caseycoon]

27. K&R Glad you started this! n/t

[VolcanoJen]

28. Freaky Buggy Duplicate Post

:-)

[Coexist]

too close to call per MSNBC

[high density]

32. not too close, too early

It's their "we want you to watch for a little while" call.

[Coexist]

33. rumor, CNN called for Obama?

can anyone verify?

[Coexist]

29. too close to call per MSNBC

[slick8790]

31. CNN.com had a banner projecting for Obama for a second, gone after a refresh.

Weird.

[mikelewis]

36. I'd assume they'd probably program a banner for either contingency.

[grantcart]

41. you know your job is next to go when you get the nod for doing the Gravel banner

[BzaDem]

52. MSNBC exit polls show 18-19 point victory for Obama.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21225989

[grantcart]

35. seems like Obama is trailing the "I am bitter" demographic

[Quixote1818]

37. News at top of hour said Obama won every age group accept those over 60

and he won blacks at a rate of 9 to 1. They should call it for Obama soon.

[southern_belle]

38. Wolf said Obama has significant lead

but it's too early to call.

[caseycoon]

39. K&R Glad you started this! n/t

[NJSecularist]

40. According to CNN, Obama won the black vote 91 to 9

Hillary won the white vote 71 to 29.

According to my projections, that is a 20 point Obama win, and it could be more according to black turnout.

[Quixote1818]

42. Blacks make up about 40% of the population. nt

[NJSecularist]

43. But on the Democratic side, they are projected to make up 50% of the electorate tonight

[Quixote1818]

48. Good point. Thanks, nt

[grantcart]

45. but about 65% of the dem vote

[kennetha]

65. If you do MSNBC's Numbers by party

it looks like 52-48.

If you do it by gender it looks 60-40.

[Laelth]

44. Please e-mail CNN and tell them we're the Democratic Party.

They have MS results listed as "Democrat" Results. They're repeating the right-wing slur that started in the Nixon era. Until they start listing the opposition's results as "Republic" results, I have to insist upon their listing ours as "Democratic" results. Please DU the same.

Edit:Laelth--clarity.

[southern_belle]

47. Breaking News!

[NDambi]

49. Yeah

[Cali_Democrat]

50. Cool n/t

[Coexist]

51. I love all the states that don't count!!

[southern_belle]

53. I don't see it on their web site but received the

"breaking news" email.

[JBoy]

66. Interesting!

Their website and TV haven't called it yet.

[goclark]

54. Please keep k and make him win BIG

[Coexist]

55. I hope he can pad his popular vote total tonight.

[kennetha]

60. THese Exit polls are weird (MSNBC)

IF you do the % by party breakdown it looks like a 52-48 Obama win.

If you do the % by gender breakdown, it looks like a 60-40 Obama win


Something odd is going on.

[southern_belle]

64. kick

:bounce:

[MadBadger]

59. Hillary took 77% of the Republican vote.

[writes3000]

[rainbow4321]

67. K&R n/t

[Adelante]

70. Donna Brazille seems really pissed

She's controlling her words, but she's pissed off. I'm glad she made the point of Obama's white vote, pointing out they were over accenting the racial split.

[Voice for Peace]

72. Anyone from DC/MD/NoVa going to help Obama campaign in PA?

PM me
