obama winning EVERY caucus, Hillary doing much stronger in the primaries... interesting...................
I've said it before (and I know you are an exception), but if you are not for her... you are against her.

Obama doing well in Colorado early. Expected?
yea. he had huge turnouts there. Clintons were fairly dull there.
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 09:15 PM)
I'd love to see the unknown candidate/s who's winning 60% of the vote in that primary.
EDIT: That's UTAH.
Looks like it might have been a data entry error. It has since been pulled down and UT as 0% reporting.

Fox called Connecticut for Obama.
He's been holding a 3% lead since very early on. Not a huge surprise tonight, but in the grand scheme of thin, this is important.
Quick note:
I think it was on MSNBC... the Obama campaign is sending out talking points to the press saying a candidate who wins by 6 points might only get 18 more delegates than the runner up. Sound like early spin. They dont seem positive on CA.

Who is projected in Ohio, texas and Penn??
WAY to far out for those states. those primaries are over a month away... if not farther. Hillary naturally has a lead in those states purely on name recognition. But she has had the lead in EVERY state based on name recognition.
Let me break it down this way, i dotn have exact numbers so this is a generalization, BUT...
AL and GA nullify a MA win for HilDog.
MN nullifies TN
DE, ID, ND, and KS nullify OK
CO and UT nullify MO
CT > AK
Hillary might be winning major skirmishes, but Obama might be winning the war.

What's the deal with Minnesota? I didn't expect to see Obama winning there. Obama also leading in Idaho and N.Dakota early.
He had HUGE rallies there the past week. I am not surprised really.
Let me try and clear this up a bit. Obama was not expected to win a ton of states today. GA, AL, IL were expected wins. Beynd that, anyting is gravy. The goal was simply to keep the delegates close. The Obama campaign feels if they can keep it close after today (+ or - 50 delegates), Obama can move on to the individual states and campaign instead of trying to fight in 21 states against the CLinton name. He's much better when he can concentrate on a single state.
I think by the end of the of the Tuesday results rolling in, Obama will be down 30-40 delegates. VERY close.
QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:09 PM)
but losing almost all states. Mass, NY are big losses.
Clinton will win California.
Mass and NY were expected.
CA will be VERY interesting.
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:06 PM)
Where exactly are you getting that from? So far I'd say he's overperforming what would have been expected.
Delegate wise... it's a near deadlock
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 07:49 PM)
How much of a surprise is Obama winning CT so far? How many delegates in that state?
Kind of a suprise, but he has been surgin there recently. CT is 48 pledged.
Chuck Todd on MSNBC is saying that in states where Hillary is "wining big" she may only have a handful more delegates than Obama. Obama may LOSE tonight, but stil have more delegates by the end of the night. HOW WIERD!

CT and NJ are Clinton firewall. A loss for Clinton here is a big chink in the armor.
That she didn't win those by large margins can't be a good feeling for them.
CT (15% Reporting) Obama 50% Clinton 48%
NJ (1% Reporting) Clinton 58% Obama 37% Edwards 4%
MA (4% Reporting) Clinton 52% Obama 46%
