Hillary :51%, Obama45% with 7% of the vote in Kentucky

[panader0]

[redstate_democrat]

1. I wonder what counties are coming in with these numbers?

[Blue_State_Elitist]

Mostly the two Obama areas it looks like on CNN.com

[VeraAgnes]

36. Here are some results I found...........

Here are some early results from Ky.
I googled for exit polls and such earlier.....this is all I could find with an on the ground view.


http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=1485


Update 6:20pm EST - 1% of polls in;

Clinton 3,903 (64%),

Obama 1,823 (31%)

45% say that John Edwards endorsement was important to them. 51% said it wasn’t important

73% women voted for Clinton

92% that valued experience voted for Clinton

In November election between McCain and Obama: 15% would stay home

[democrattotheend]

10. Jefferson is 36% in already (that's where Louisville is).

Sorry to say, it's going to widen. But so far it does not look so bad, and it looks like some of the counties in Southern KY with a slightly larger black population have not come in yet...still I expect it to widen.

[tekisui]

I'll take it!

I'm sure it will change, but a good start.

[Bensthename]

2. Interesting so far.. Can Obama hold close?????

[MadBadger]

3. This is mostly Louisville. Once they report, its downhill from here.

[stray cat]

8. Obama is winning Lexington and those numbers are just coming in (2%)

[MadBadger]

43. Terry McAulliffe said that Hillary will win 119 out of 120 counties in KY

Currently she is losing 2. He seemed pretty confident she would win at least 119 of the 120.

[book_worm]

4. This is going to be a lot closer than WVA

[Arugula Latte]

7. I dunno. If it's Louisville, as the poster above said ... maybe not.

[cali]

15. I don't think it'll be as bad for Obama as WV but

she'll blow him out of the water in KY. However, I think he'll return the favor in OR.

[bigdarryl]

5. wheres the blowout

[Blue_State_Elitist]

9. Wait till the numbers outside of Obama's areas start coming in.

[Bullet1987]

14. Obama has AREAS in Kentucky? LOL...that's news to me

[Blue_State_Elitist]

19. Lexington and Louisville

have higher black populations and higher educated whites than the rest of the state.

[Az_lefty]

6. Sheesh...I never thought it would be this close.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. Looks like bigger cities are coming in first.

The numbers for rural areas look dismal for Obama, though it's a very small percentage in.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#KY

[bluestateguy]

11. A big dump of votes came in from Jefferson County (Louisville)

Obama will win that county with ease.

Don't expect that spread to hold.

[ej510]

17. It will open up big when the racist parts of Kentucky come in.

[jefferson_dem]

31. Sad but true.

Why won't the media tell the truth. It's not about white voters. It's about bigoted white voters.

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. Didn't W.V start the same way with the results?

or was it already a 30 point spread at the beginning?

[bluestateguy]

35. No

Clinton swept all counties in that state.

In Kentucky we can expect Obama to win in Jefferson, Fayette and Christian counties.

[Kittycat]

13. It's not going to be close.

Really, she's going to win by 30pts, easily - maybe more. Obama has a couple strongholds, but it will not be enough to pull it in.

My eyes will be on Oregon. They're projecting 1M votes today, or 50% of the democrats.

[stray cat]

20. I think you're right - the rural areas are going strongly for Clinton

[MadBadger]

21. I think they are projecting 1 million total with Repukes and Indies

Though there will be more than 50% of registered Democrats.

[TheFarseer]

16. Wow, surprisingly close

although I realize it's mostly Louisville reporting so far. I imagine Lexington is another pocket of Obama strength. Are there any other pockets of Obama strength - does anyone know? Maybe some counties with colleges in them? Maybe the Cincinnati suburbs?

[Qutzupalotl]

41. There are maps on this site.

Looks like Clinton leads big in the rural areas.
http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/KY.html

Obama will be helped by larger numbers in his cities, but I think those are his only strongholds. Probably another double-digit win for Clinton here. Offset by Obama's win in Oregon later tonight. :evilgrin:

[JVS]

18. Don't expect it to stay close.

Remember that NC thread?

[Cali_Democrat]

24. I think you're talking about the infamous Indiana thread.

[JVS]

26. Ahh yes. A classic

[Bensthename]

22. KKK counties should be reporting soon and change things..

[jeffrey_X]

30. :goodposting:

eom

[SoCalDem]

Yep.. when the "Ahhtaleyoowut" votes come in they will be for MzHillary

not that "black guy".. a guy interviewed this morning on CNN said Obama should start being less black :eyes:

[NJSecularist]

23. 35% of Louisville is in and Obama can't even take the lead.

Obama is going to get slaughtered. Most of Hillary's strongholds have yet to come in, where she will bring in large margins.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. Can Kentucky go blue in November if Hillary is the nominee?

What are your thoughts?

[NJSecularist]

32. Probably not, but she'll come close.

Obama has no chance, however.

Hillary will come within 5% is my guess if she's the nominee.

[ingac70]

51. close only counts....

in hand grenades and horsehoes, not Presidential elections.

[panader0]

60. Will you go blue when Obama wins the nom tonight?

[ingac70]

33. Of course not! n/t

[Catch22Dem]

28. Oh, he has THE lead

But he'll lose KY. Won't matter though. Thank jeebus.

[jenmito]

29. Hey-remember when you said things like this?:

"Good grief, the Hillary spin machine never stops

Are you getting cut a check from her?

How much?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4357014#4357056

[Bicoastal]

47. What the hell? First that Dude from the Tropics, now this character from New Jersey...

...how many more of these pests are really Freeper Trolls?

[jenmito]

57. Yeah. This one started a thread saying, the night before PA, if Hillary wins by 10% or more, we

really have to think about Obama's electability. S/he was supposedly an Obama supporter at the time. (Hillary only won by 9.2%, but that didn't stop him/her from changing to Hillary and calling us "Obamabots.")

[writes3000]

67. ROTFLMFAO!!!! Did it really go down like that??? Too frickin hilarious!!!

We were all "Obamabots" the next day???

LMAO!!!

Crazy but damn funny.

[jenmito]

69. YES! Here's another example:

Of his/her earlier days:

"Boo hoo

The media is against Poor Hillary.



You're joking, right?

Hillary has benefited more from free press than any candidate, on either side, in this race."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4351570#4351810

[writes3000]

71. Okay, that's just bizarre...

It's another example of how people on the extremes - are there for a reason.

I'm still LMAO at the instant "Obamabot" name-calling. Subtle, LOL.

[jenmito]

73. I kept asking him/her...

"Weren't you just an Obama supporter yesterday? Now you're calling us "Obamabots?" S/he never answered.

[panader0]

63. Whatever happened to that guy?

[jenmito]

65. He got TSed today after announcing he once again switched (to Hillary).

[Bicoastal]

72. Better than that, actually.

EarlG said "This poster is no longer with us. And his other three identities are gone as well."

But then clarified that these were new creations, and that it was "no big deal."

[jenmito]

76. I saw that, but never saw who the other 3 were..

[Thrill]

34. Just like Hillary will be in Oregon

[jefferson_dem]

37. ...

Uh huh.

Silly NJSecularist.

:hi:

[Thrill]

38. I hear the turnout wasn't that great in KY.

[Zynx]

39. 75% of that result is Louisville.

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. Chuck Todd is on MSNBC right now with the numbers

He needs 15 delegates and will get 18 out of Kentucky
might get 30 out of Oregon

[Aloha Spirit]

42. What was McAuliffe's prediction for tonight? I forgot. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

44. Send money to Hillaryclinton.com

or something about territory or where to find his next coke dealer.

I don't know really what he said.

[MadBadger]

45. He said she would win 119 of 120 counties

right now, Obama leads in 2.

[Aloha Spirit]

54. thanks. nt

[Zynx]

58. He'll be fortunate to carry either one. He will probably win Jefferson, but Fayette is questionable.

[Ichingcarpenter]

46. 13% in Hillary 49 .. Obama 48

must be Louisville

[dawgman]

49. nope L'ville is really close.

nt

[bluestateguy]

48. Fayette and Jefferson are being counted first

Don't get too excited everyone.

[Ichingcarpenter]

50. It was just called for Hillary

right win the polls closed.

[phrigndumass]

52. MSNBC just projected Senator Clinton the winner in KY

[TexasLady]

53. still, Id sure like to see it closer than projected

I can dream, can't I?
:D

[Ichingcarpenter]

64. Just have to say Gratz.. Hillary supporters BTW

TexasLady .... I'll be happy with anything under 30% out of that state.

It looks good right now but it was called so early that those numbers are worthless
you are seeing right now.

[Renew Deal]

55. Hillary is going to win 65-30

Or pretty close to that.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/epolls/#KYDEM

[barack the house]

56. WOW. that is astounding considering his polling.

[high density]

61. Not to pour cold water on this but that's not going to hold

I expect by the end it will be much closer to the WV result than it is at this moment.

[Zynx]

62. Yeah. The 17% in is not very reflective of the state as a whole.

She will probably win the rest of the state 75-25.

[Ichingcarpenter]

59. 16% in Clinton 51% - Obama 46%

I've heard no numbers on turnout in Kentucky but Oregon is
supposed to be massive.

[anigbrowl]

66. This is good news. Rurral counties will widen it, but...

Looking at CNN's results page, those rural counties are really thinly populated - like many will cast only 1000 votes or less for the whole county, even though those rural countries are going ~85% for Hillary. I'm thinking it might come out at 65:35.

What's even funnier is that Ron Paul looks like claiming 2d place. It'll be funny if he breaks 10%.

[Ichingcarpenter]

68. 22% in ... Clinton 54%.... Obama 43%

I'm glad Ron Paul is doing so well....how close is he running?

[Tatiana]

70. Is anyone listening to Terry MacAuliffe on MSNBC?

Tweety is working hard to hold back his laughter.

I, on the other hand, am laughing uproariously.

[Ichingcarpenter]

74. Terry won't answer Tweety's questions

Specifically,

god he's hard to listen to these days.

He mention Clint Eastwood who said she should stay in the race.
Clint voted for Bush both times.

[stray cat]

75. Really annoying!

[New Dawn]

77. Obama is doing much better than expected.

Clearly, he has won the nomination.

[Ichingcarpenter]

78. 34% in Clinton 55..... Obama 42

Still interesting if he can hold it under 30% loss.
as was claimed by many from the other camp.

[whistler162]

79. CNN has 41% counted 57%(Clinton) to 40%(Obama)

this ain't good form Senator Clinton.

[Ichingcarpenter]

80. 48% in Clinton 58..... Obama 38

I'm still satisfied .... I thought it would be around 30% or more.

Maybe it will, but just wait until Oregon's blowout for Obama.
