Why has DU called it for Hillary Clinton?

[Bicoastal]

According to CNN.com currently, Hillary has 39%, Obama has 37%. About half of the votes aren't in...

I'm biased, of course, but at this point it's still too close to call.

8. I have an answer

People on DU post their emotions, not reality. When I post I try to back my emotions up with fact, reality. The tinfoil stuff gets so old.

There's a thread somewhere that says Hillary is winning due to Diebold. OK, Diebold is a garbage company and has some serious problems. But come on folks. Get fucking real.

Universities are not even in yet... Don't count Barak out in NH yet... Far to early IMO...

11. Because of the precints that have reported.

Statistically, she most likely has this win.

What happened was that many Dems that do not usually vote in the primary ( polls are always geared towards previous primary voters)came out in force for Hillary and over came the younger college voters and the more affluent 30-40 crowd near the coast.

IS a victory.
